Jurgen Klopp has hailed the ‘incredible’ stats behind Liverpool’s season.
Monday’s five-goal thriller with West Ham saw the Premier League leaders rack up a 21st home league victory to set a new record in the modern era.
They also equalled Manchester City’s feat of 18 consecutive domestic wins while matching various tallies of several illustrious title-winning predecessors.
The Reds have already achieved the 79-point haul that Manchester United did in 1998/99 and won 26 league games – the same number as Arsenal’s Invincibles.
“A couple of years ago I said we wanted to write our own stories and create our own history and obviously the boys took what I said really seriously,” said Klopp.
“It is so special. The numbers are incredible. We all know that it is very special.

“But at this moment we just want to recover and prepare for the next opponent because they are really waiting and want to fight us.
“The whole stadium at Watford will go for us and we have to be 100% ready. As long as we are really ready to fight no one should worry. But there is a lot of work to do.
“Could I have wished for a better position going into these last 11 games? No. I would never have thought it possible but each one is really difficult.
“We don’t expect one easy game.”
