Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insisted he slept pretty well despite Manchester City s thumping of Watford in the Premier League on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola s defending champions City produced a brilliant performance to thrash Watford 8-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
But Liverpool still managed to restore their five-point lead at the top on Sunday, overcoming Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Klopp said he lost no sleep after seeing City s result, with the two clubs again expected to be pushing each other in the title race.
I wanted to see the goals. I saw a two-minute, 50 seconds summary after I left the training pitch, he said, via the Telegraph.
UP THE REDS!

Eight goals and two crossbars. I need to watch it fully to really understand it.
For Watford it was a tough day. If it can happen against any team in the world it will be City. We had a similar situation when we lost there I think 5-0 [in 2017].
If you have 10 men the worst place in the world is Manchester City. I slept pretty well.
Liverpool face MK Dons in the EFL Cup on Wednesday before a trip to Sheffield United in the Premier League three days later.
