Liverpool picked up yet another three points in their quest for Premier League glory on Monday evening, getting the better of West Ham at Anfield.
A 3-2 win was required to see off the Hammers, with the Reds not quite at their best on the night.
Next up for Jurgen Klopp’s soon-to-be champions is a trip to Watford on Saturday evening, in what could be another test against a relegation-threatened team.
The officials have been announced for the game, with Michael Oliver taking charge at Vicarage Road and Mike Dean in the VAR hot-seat.
Oliver is considered by many to be the best official in the country, so often refereeing the most high-profile games.
As for Dean, his flamboyant character has made him one of the most well-known officials around, sometimes being accused of milking the limelight a little.
These Liverpool fans have produced a mixed response to the news, showing their happiness about Oliver but some trepidation surrounding Dean.
I’ll take Dean in the booth if it’s Oliver on the field
