Thomas Tuchel continues to lead the English Premier League title race after Chelsea won by 2-1 against Watford away from home in the mid week fixture.
The Blues maintains the top spot with 33 points.
Manchester City maintains the second position after beating Marvellous Nakamba’s side Aston Villa by 2-1 at Villa Park.
Villa fell two goals behind before half-time through impressive strikes from Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva.
Ollie Watkins’ second half strike breathed new life into Villa Park, and Gerrard thought his side’s display in the second period was much better than the first.
The top three teams are separated from each other by a point after playing 14 games each.
Jurgen Klopp has claimed that Mohamed Salah was left “angry” in the Liverpool dressing room despite scoring twice in the 4-1 win over Everton.
Salah was once again the standout star for the Reds as he spearheaded their thumping of arch-rivals Everton, with goals from Jordan Henderson and Diogo Jota completing the quartet of strikes.
The Egyptian appeared to be smiling in his post-match interviews as he was asked about his lowly Ballon d’Or finish.
However, Klopp insist that he was less than impressed with his own performance at Goodison Park, having wanted to pick up a hat-trick and the match ball.
In other EPL matches played, Wolves drew 0-0 against Burnley, West Ham drew 1-1 against Brighton Hove and Albion, Southampton 2-2 Leicester City.
Last night Manchester United best Arsenal 3-2 in another December congested EPL fixture at Old Trafford.
Manchester United were winless in their last six Premier League meetings with Arsenal, they’ve never gone seven league games without a win against the Gunners before.
Arsenal had kept a clean sheet in each of their last three meetings with Manchester United in all competitions, as many as they had in their previous 13 against them. They have never kept a clean sheet in four consecutive games against the Red Devils before.
The Gunners were looking at winning consecutive away league games against Man United for the first time since February 1979.
