Liverpool may have already won its first league title in 30 years but its incredible season just keeps rolling on.
Jurgen Klopp's side broke yet one more record on Wednesday after beating Brighton 3-1, courtesy of a brace from Mohamed Salah, and a sweeping strike from captain Jordan Henderson.
It has now won 30 of its previous 34 matches, the fastest any side has reached that number of wins within the history of English league.
It's also another step towards breaking Manchester City's record tally of 100 points, set within the 2017-18 season.
However, despite needing just nine more points from its four remaining games to surpass the record, Klopp insists he's not bothered about making history.
"It's not important for me; I'm not curious about any of this but I would like to win football games," he said after the match.
"For sportspeople generally it'd be important. We are champions and it might be softening but it's not - the boys accompany everything."
Salah, Mane, Firmino milestone
Liverpool certainly did not have it all its way against Brighton, which fought back diligently after falling two goals behind within the primary 10 minutes.
A goal from Leandro Trossard had given the hosts hope, but as Brighton pushed for an equalizer, Liverpool's talisman Salah popped up with a deft header to place the sport to rest.
The Egyptian now has 19 goals within the league this season and sits just three behind current top scorer Jamie Vardy.
Klopp has now seen his dynamic front trio of Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino score 250 goals during his reign at the club - a complete which is probably going to be added to within the remaining games.
Salah leads the way with 94 goals, with Mane hitting 79 and Firmino with 77 altogether competitions.
Liverpool host Burnley in its next Premier League match before two tricky ties against Arsenal and Chelsea. The Reds then face Newcastle within the final game of the season.
