Liverpool are looking to keep the pressure on Manchester City when they host Watford this afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp’s side return from the international break just one point off the leaders, having now won their last nine leagues games in succession.

That imperious run of form has also seen Liverpool lift the Carabao Cup and reach the latter stages of the Champions League and FA Cup as they aim for an unprecedented quadruple.

The contrast could hardly be greater at Watford, who remain deep in a relegation struggle, with three points separating them from safety, despite a crucial win at Southampton.

Here is everything you need to know:

When is it and what time is kick-off?

The match will begin at 12.30pm on 2 April at Anfield.

How can I watch it online and on TV?

The match will be broadcast live on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate, while online viewers can follow the match on the BT Sport App.

Confirmed line-ups

Liverpool: Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Jones, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Jota

Watford: [tbc] Foster; Femenia, Kabasele, Samir, Kamara; Louza, Sissoko, Kucka; Sarr, Pedro, Dennis

Odds

Prediction
