Liverpool head into the international break top of the Premier League after beating Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
But the Reds' 1-0 victory came at a cost as goalkeeper Alisson was forced off with a suspected hamstring injury and is now set for a spell on the sidelines.
Diogo Jota's first-half finish was enough to secure Liverpool's sixth successive victory in all competitions.
Arne Slot also became the first Liverpool manager to win as many as nine of his first 10 games, with the Dutchman's only setback to date being a home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Manchester City and Arsenal trail Liverpool by one point after respective home wins over Fulham and Southampton.
City beat Fulham 3-2 in a pulsating Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium.
The visitors took the lead through Andreas Pereira, but Kovacic found the net twice to turn the game on it’s head shortly after the interval. Jeremy Doku‘s stunner made it 3-1 before Rodrigo Muniz pulled a goal back for the Cottagers late on.
Arsenal also came from behind to beat Southampton 3-1 after Cameron Archer had given the winless Saints a 55th-minute lead.
