The 31st round of the English league kicked off today (Saturday) when no less than seven games will be played during the day.
Liverpool host Watford in the early game (14:30, Sport1) and if they win they will climb to the top at least until the away game of Manchester City at Burnley (17:00, Sport2).
At the same time, Chelsea will host Brentford (17:00, Sport1) and tonight the game between Manchester United and Leicester (19:30, Sport1) will close.

Liverpool - Watford 0: 1 (Half 1)
Jürgen Klopp and his players can conquer the top of the Premier League if they beat the Wasps below the red line.
A win would give Mighty Reds first place perhaps only for a short time, but at the moment Liverpool are a point away from Manchester City - and all this a week before the meeting between them in Manchester.
Liverpool hope to win for the tenth time in a row in the league - they lost 2022 only to Inter in the Champions League - but who is expected to be absent is right-back Trent Alexander Arnold, whose goal is to train for next Sunday's game and possibly the Champions League quarter-final against Benfica.
It will be interesting to see how Muhammad Salah performs who on Tuesday missed Pendel and was eliminated with Egypt from the World Cup qualifiers by his friend Sadio Mane and the Senegal team.
Roy Hodgson's Watford, on the other hand, went into the international break with a surprising 1-2 draw over Southampton and are desperate for points in light of the fact that Everton above the red line are three points ahead of them and have two games missing.
Minute 22: Goal!
Allison stopped Kotzka one-on-one, and immediately on the other side the host went out for a quick attack and Gomez picked up from the right side for Juta who slammed in.

Burnley - Manchester City (17:00, Sport 2)
The Citizens' big advantage at the top has dwindled and a week before this season's game against Liverpool, the champions may come to a meeting at Burnley when they are in second place.
Before the break, City finished 0-0 away against Crystal Palace and after that recovered with 1: 4 in the cup over Southampton, but it is towards a crucial month when even before the game against Liverpool it will host Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Brakeman Ruben Diaz is expected to miss out on training for Liverpool, but John Stones, who was injured in the squad this week, is expected to be available for Pep Guardiola against Burnley, who are ranked second to last and cannot afford a fifth consecutive game without a win - certainly before a rematch against Everton on Wednesday. And a bottom battle in Norwich next Saturday.
However, Burnley have lost in all of their last nine City games since March 2015.
Head in the game against Real Madrid?

Chelsea - Brentford (17:00, Sport1)
The European champions have won all six of their last games in all competitions and have managed to slightly stabilize the defense that in that streak has kept three clean sheets, but Tuchel's side are double-digit away from the summit and with a promising 8-point lead from Fifth Tottenham so it would not be surprising Real Madrid on Wednesday in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Reese James has once again recovered from an injury and may return to Thomas Tuchel's squad, if not tomorrow then midweek against the Blancos.
Brentford who have secured two consecutive wins before the loss to Leicester and are a pretty promising 8 points from the red line but have not kept a clean sheet in the Premier League away from home for 12 consecutive games and will have a hard time surprising Chelsea, having already surrendered twice this season The cases did not sheep at all.

Manchester United - Leicester (19:30, Sport1)
The Red Devils kept the chance to finish among the top four teams in the table alive thanks to a 2: 3 win over Tottenham with a hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo, and after the relegation from the Champions League by Atletico Madrid it became the only goal they had left.
It will be a crucial month for United in the league, during which it will also play against Everton, Norwich, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start in the squad, also due to the fact that Edinson Cavani is in great doubt for the meeting.
As for Leicester, manager Brendan Rogers will miss Jamie Vardy for at least another three weeks and will not be available until the end of the season for the injured Wilfred Andidi.
Leicester are the team with the fourth worst balance in the league in away games, however they have beaten United in three of the last four meetings, including a 2-4 draw at King Power in the first round in October.
