Liverpool are top of the Premier League and top of the Champions League table at Christmas, and things went even better on St Stephen's Day.

Chelsea, and Man City dropped points, while their rivals Man United lost to Wolves, all they had to do to ensure a great day was beat Leicester City at home.

Despite going 1-0 down, goals from Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones, and Mo Salah meant that Arne Slot's men won the game 3-1, and sealed all three points.

Jones marked his 100th Liverpool game with a goal, although he didn't actually know that until his former manager, Jurgen Klopp told him.

The Red's midfielder told BBC Match of The Day that the ex Anfield boss had texted him before the match.

"I came in then and normally text family and I saw a text off [Jurgen] Klopp saying 'congratulations on 100 games and here’s to 500'. I was like 'what is he on about?'

"I just checked then and I am proud. It was him who set up the team we have now. The foundation was there and Arne Slot has carried it on.

"It looks good but there are plenty of games to come. You can play a team at the bottom, middle or top and it is a hard game. It is about trying to win every single game and if we do that everybody knows what comes at the end.

"We have still got a long, long way to go. There are plenty of games to come. We’ll take each game as it comes and try and win all the games."

It just goes to show that Klopp is still a massive Liverpool fan, and really cares about his former players, while supporting them from afar.

Slot has got off to a better start than anyone could have dreamed off, but a lot of that was down to how Klopp rebuilt a strong team last season.

Now the Dutchman has improved that again with his own ideas and methods, and Liverpool fans are in dreamland.
