TEAM NEWS
Liverpool's James Milner is fit again after
illness ruled him out of the win at Crystal
Palace.
Emre Can and Georginio Wijnaldum, who
missed some training this week after
feeling unwell, have both recovered.
Watford defender Sebastian Prodl is a
doubt after suffering a muscle injury
against Hull last weekend.
Craig Cathcart (groin) and Isaac Success
(muscle problem) are both out, while
striker Stefano Okaka (hamstring) faces a
late fitness test.
Liverpool Danny Ings underwent knee
surgery in midweek and will be out for the
rest of the season.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Steve Bower: "Jurgen Klopp might be
trying to dampen the 'great entertainers'
tag, but Liverpool's football so far this
season has captured the imagination of
the whole league.
"After they put four past Crystal Palace last
weekend, Eagles manager Alan Pardew
confessed that Liverpool were the best
team his side had faced all year.
"Whilst the obvious defensive questions
still remain, the challenge for anyone to
get a result at Anfield is an ever-
increasing one with Klopp's men
unbeaten at home since January.
"Watford will certainly be wary of that,
although they do arrive on Merseyside on
the back of three clean sheets in a row
and a win over Hull - despite not having
had a shot on target in the match!
"Walter Mazzarri's organisational influence
has been clearly evident in the Hornets'
solid start to the season, though that will
face the ultimate test at Anfield."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "Watford
play a different system to a lot of other
teams in the league. We have to work on
this, we have done it all week, and try to
play football.
"It's Anfield and [we want to] take a
positive result before the international
break."
Watford head coach Walter Mazzarri: "We
know that Liverpool is one of the teams
that is in top form at the moment in the
Premier League and the results are
showing this.
"They are playing very well, they have a
great team and great players and the
coach is managing them very well, so I
think they can be one of the title
contenders. But of course, we want to go
there and make a great performance and
make our fans happy."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Liverpool are conceding goals - their only
clean sheet in the league so far was their
0-0 draw against Manchester United - but,
while that is an issue, when they are
winning and scoring lots of goals, it is
not a problem.
Prediction: 3-0

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Liverpool have won four of the last
five league meetings.
Watford's first-ever win in the
Premier League came at Anfield - 1-0
in 1999.
There has never been a draw between
these two teams in the Premier
League - Liverpool have won four
matches, Watford two.
Liverpool
Liverpool are unbeaten in eight
league matches (W6, D2) and 10
games in all competitions (W8, D2).
The Reds are unbeaten at Anfield this
season (W3, D1).
But they have kept just one clean
sheet in this season's Premier
League (the 0-0 draw v Man Utd).
Nine different Liverpool players have
scored a goal for the Reds in the
Premier League so far this season -
no side can boast a better record.
Watford
Watford have lost just one of their
last seven league games (W4, D2).
The Hornets have kept three clean
sheets in a row.
But they have scored just two goals
in their last three games - and last
weekend managed to win without
having a shot on target.
Troy Deeney is waiting to score his
100th Watford goal but hasn't scored
in his last three league games. m.bbc.com/sport/football/37814248 |
