Liverpool have temporarily taken the lead in the English Premier League with their tenth win in a row.
With a 2-0 (1-0) win over Watford FC on Saturday, football coach Jürgen Klopp's team jumped to first place with 72 points.
However, Manchester City (70) could overtake them again with a win at Burnley (4 p.m.).
The two top clubs will meet in Manchester next Sunday.
Before the quarter-final first leg in the Champions League at Benfica Lisbon on Tuesday (9 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the Champions League and at Dazn), the Portuguese Diogo Jota headed the deserved 1-0 lead after 22 minutes after a pass from Joe Gomez.
The international missed another goal before the break.
Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster cleared brilliantly in front of the free-standing offensive player.
After the change of sides, the guests also appeared in front of the Liverpool FC goal.
A Joao Pedro shot went just wide after 56 minutes.
Nevertheless, the Reds were still clearly superior, but only decided the game shortly before the end.
After a duel in the Watford penalty area between Juraj Kucka and Jota, referee Stuart Attwell awarded a penalty after the intervention of the video assistant.
Fabinho converted safely to make it 2-0 (89').
