Liverpool 2 Watford 0 - Match Reaction

The Reds briefly went to the top of the table after an uninspiring but largely stress free win over Roy Hodgson's Watford.

Liverpool 1 West Ham United 0 - Match Reaction

The winning run goes on and the Reds are once again just three points off top spot in the Premier League. It wasn't the most convincing of wins but Sadio Mané's first half strike was enough to sink a game West Ham side who had their chances to equalise but couldn't convert any.
