Jürgen Klopp reaches his 250th Premier League game as Liverpool manager in sight of the summit and set for a run-in rich in possibilities. His team will leapfrog Manchester City at the top, for a few hours at least, should they avoid defeat and he will hope they record a 10th successive league win and maintain their dominance of a Watford side who have improved defensively since the former Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson came out of retirement. The title contenders have scored 18 goals in their last four home games against Watford, who have won twice as many away matches as they have at Vicarage Road this season. Andy Hunter
