Representatives from Premier League leaders Chelsea and second-placed Manchester City were at Anfield on Monday night to watch Swansea star Wilfried Bony in action.
City's director of football Txiki Begiristain and head scout Gary Worthington were both in attendance to see the Ivorian play, while Chelsea's chief European scout, Mick Doherty, was also in the stands.
Bony, who has netted eight league goals for Garry Monk's side this season, failed to score as Liverpool ran out comfortable 4-1 winners.
The 26-year-old's display against Brendan Rodgers' side is unlikely to have put off potential suitors given his sterling goal-scoring record this year.
Bony has scored 20 Premier League goals for Swansea in 2014 - more than any other player in the division.
Liverpool are known admirers of the former Vitesse Arnhem forward, although they are not in a position to bid for him until the summer.
That could leave the door open for City, who currently have strikers Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic all out injured.
Chelsea appear less desperate for a new striker given the impressive form of Diego Costa, while Jose Mourinho also has Didier Drogba and Loic Remy in reserve.
