It might actually be Liverpool's year for once as they stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League table to ten points on Saturday.

Two goals from Mohamed Salah and another clean-sheet were enough to beat bottom-side Watford at Anfield.

Then Leicester City, their closest rivals right now, finally slipped up as they drew 1-1 at home to second-bottom-side Norwich City.

Most would argue that the now 17-point lead over Manchester City, who play Arsenal on Sunday, is the important one, however.

Things between the two were neck-and-neck last season, with Pep Guardiola's side winning the title by a single point.

But Liverpool seem unstoppable right now and are on course to be champions of England for the first time in 30 years.

So who have the Reds got to thank for finally overcoming their title drought?

Well, there's an obvious three: Jurgen Klopp, for his impeccable coaching, Michael Edwards, for consistently fantastic transfer business, and Bruce Grobbelaar, for peeing on the Anfield goalposts to break a curse.

Does that third one need some explanation? Don't worry - Grobbelaar's got you sorted.

"I had a testimonial in 1992 and I was sponsored by Zambezi lager and they sent a witchdoctor with the lager," he told BT Sport.

"He went around on the posts and put his goat's tail, put his water on the posts of both sides, got the microphone and said, 'If you don't have the jungle man Bruce Grobbelaar here, you won't win the title'."

That's the curse part explained and how do you break a curse? You pee on the goalposts.

"Of course, I went back to South Africa, went to Canada, came back. Remember when Stevie G, he slipped? One night game I went down to the Kop end, I peed on the posts. That breaks the spell.

"I got thrown out. I didn't do the Anfield Road and we finished second."

Fortunately, the Liverpool legend was able to fix his mistake.

"Last season I played in a corporate game here, we were in the dressing room and the guy said 'you have to do the business today'," he said.

"I said, 'okay'. I took a water bottle, poured the water out, peed in the bottle, came back.

"First-half at the Kop end, I splashed it all over the posts. Second-half, I came down to the Anfield Road end and splashed it all over the posts. End of last season."

And that is the story of how Liverpool became champions of England in 2020.
