Liverpool fell to Watford, who went into the game sitting 19th on the table, after winning 26 of their last 27 league matches with one draw.
It was the first time the Champions League title holders would be defeated in the Premier League since January 2019.
Despite the loss, Klopp’s men still enjoy a 22-point lead at the top of the table, although their sluggish return from a two-week winter break earlier in February was finally punished.
