Jurgen Klopp accepted Manchester City make winning look easy after Liverpool's battling 2-1 victory at Chelsea, which came a day after the Premier League champions hammered Watford 8-0.
The Reds enjoyed a straightforward first half at Stamford Bridge, taking the lead through Trent Alexander-Arnold's powerful 20-yard strike and doubling their lead when Roberto Firmino crashed in a close-range header.
Chelsea slowly grew into the game and N'Golo Kante's superb second-half solo effort gave them hope of a point before Michy Batshuayi and Mason Mount missed late chances to equalise.
