FREE TO WATCH: Highlights of Liverpool's win against Leicester
Mohamed Salah only appeared from the bench against Leicester while Sadio Mane wasn't involved at all but it did not matter. This Liverpool side have many weapons. On this evidence, they have a bright future too.
Diogo Jota underlined his importance to their present as well as their future, his double taking him to 17 goals for the season, while Luis Diaz, the same age as Jota at 25, shone on his Premier League debut following his January arrival from Porto.
It is too early to talk of a changing of the guard in Liverpool's attack, especially as the club remain hopeful of tying Salah to a new contract. But with his, Mane and Roberto Firmino's current deals up at the end of next season, the succession plan is well under way.
•Liverpool 2-0 Leicester - Match report and highlights
For the opening half-hour at Anfield, Leicester defended resolutely. Liverpool dominated the ball but Brendan Rodgers' side allowed them few openings. They might have even taken the lead themselves had Alisson not got a hand to James Maddison's early effort.
But once against a set-piece proved their undoing, Virgil van Dijk rising unmarked to head Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner goalwards and Diogo Jota snapping up the rebound from close range.
The statistics make grim reading. Leicester have now conceded 10 goals from corners in the Premier League this season, representing more than a quarter of their overall total.
No other side has conceded as many goals from corners and with 18 goals conceded from set-pieces generally, Leicester have already equalled their overall total for the whole of last season.
"It's been an ongoing issue for us," said Rodgers afterwards. "Whether it's zonal or man-to-man, it's been a problem.
"We have defended it better recently, but it's definitely an area that, come the summer, we will have to improve on in terms of profile of player and having more dominance in there."

FREE TO WATCH: Highlights of Arsenal's win against Wolves in the Premier League
It might seem strange to pick out the performance of a defender who was introduced as a substitute but Rob Holding's involvement demands attention. His role in Arsenal's 1-0 win over Wolves at Molineux typified the resilience shown by Mikel Arteta's side.
With the Gunners reduced to 10 men midway through the second half following Gabriel Martinelli's red card, and with the home crowd roaring their side on, it would have been easy to wilt. Holding helped them hold firm when introduced in the 71st minute.

FREE TO WATCH: Highlights of Aston Villa's draw against Leeds United
"If you don't love watching that you shouldn't be watching football."
Steven Gerrard was effusive in his praise for Philippe Coutinho's performance in Aston Villa's thrilling 3-3 draw against Leeds. Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher was also somewhat lost for words after his magical turn and pass to set up Jacob Ramsey's first goal.

FREE TO WATCH: Highlights of Southampton's win against Tottenham
As Southampton's players protested Heung-Min Son's goal in vain and Antonio Conte's touchline histrionics whipped the home crowd into a frenzy, it seemed it was Tottenham's night after all.
The hosts had been comprehensively outplayed in the first half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, their goal peppered with shots as Southampton sliced through them with ease, but the scores remained level at the break and Son's goal, scored while Armando Broja lay stricken on the turf, put them on course for a scarcely-deserved victory.
In the end, though, their luck ran out.
Southampton roared back again - and this time they scored twice, the goals, headed in by Mohamed Elyounoussi and Che Adams, arriving just three minutes apart and sucking the life out of the previously buoyant stadium.

FREE TO WATCH: Highlights of Manchester City's win over Brentford
If Joao Cancelo was a fabric, he'd be pure silk.
Cancelo's development under Pep Guardiola has been pretty astonishing this season, revelling in a tucked-in position off the left. He is becoming Pep's most important player as City have followed Liverpool's lead in building a team around a full-back. When he receives the ball in the final third you just know something special is about to happen.

Ralph Hasenhuttl gives his verdict on Southampton's win over Tottenham
James Ward-Prowse hit the headlines last month when Brentford manager Thomas Frank labelled him the "best free-kick taker in the world", but it was his quality deliveries from open play that helped Southampton to their memorable win at Tottenham.
Spurs may have been leading 2-1 going into the final 10 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but they were asking for trouble when they allowed Ward-Prowse the freedom of the right-wing to whip in a cross for Mohamed Elyounoussi to head home and level the score.
You would have thought Spurs may have learned their lesson, but no - two minutes later, Ward-Prowse again made them pay for giving him the chance to cross into the area, this time expertly picking out Adams who finished off a remarkably similar move.
Ward-Prowse ended the game with the most assists (2), most chances created (5) and the most crosses (11) of any player on the pitch.

FREE TO WATCH: Highlights from Norwich City's draw against Crystal Palace
In football, there is such a thing as scoring too early. At first glance, this draw for Norwich may look to fall into that category. Pukki scored the fastest Premier League goal of the season and that lead was pegged back by the time the final whistle sounded.
But on this occasion, rather than scoring too early, it was more a case of failing to put the game to bed, with Pukki guilty of failing to finish off the assignment he and Norwich had started so well.
On a night when victory would have lifted Dean Smith's Canaries out of the drop zone 24 hours after Newcastle's victory over Everton had demoted them back into the bottom three, victory was there for the taking. Had Pukki been more clinical and decisive, Norwich would have been out of sight before half-time.
In the end, they had to settle for a point, although settle doesn't do justice to the second-half onslaught they had to withstand from a markedly improved Palace side who woke up after the interval. That said, it was still a night packed full of positives for Norwich.
