Liverpool enter the business end of the season with the elusive quadruple still a possibility as they welcome a Watford side desperate to get out of the relegation zone. Jurgen Klopp's side sit just one point behind league leaders Manchester City and could overtake them for a few hours at least.
The Reds will be looking for their 21st league win against the Hertfordshire club and are the favourites at 1/9 with Betfred while Watford are 20/1 and a draw is 8/1. Seven of Liverpool's home matches this season in the Premier League have featured at least four goals and they should be fully focused to boost their goal difference against the struggling Hornets.
Klopp will want a quick transition following the international break and will want to address Mo Salah and Sadio Mane particularly after they played 120 minutes against each other in a World Cup qualifier play-off during the international break. The German will be pleased to see Trent Alexander-Arnold training and in contention to play this weekend but will have to deal with the blow of Naby Keita on the sidelines.
For Roy Hodgson, he will be looking to get one up on his former employers but has the difficult task of job of securing his third win for Watford as they go one step closer of avoiding the drop. They sit three points behind 17th-placed Everton but the inferior goal difference means Watford will need to pick up more results elsewhere if they have a chance of staying up.

Players to watch
Klopp will have a dilemma in his front three after Salah and Mane played 120 minutes in their last outing on international duty. The options for other players are out there with Bobby Firmino, Luis Diaz and Jota all more than capable to fill the void - especially the Portuguese player with 13 league goals this season.
For Watford, keep an eye on Emmanuel Dennis with the Nigerian striker is responsible for 14 goals including five assists while Ismaila Sarr will look to return to the squad after missing the last three league matches with a hamstring problem. The Senegal winger played a big part in Watford's famous win at Vicarage Road two seasons ago and might surprise a few at Anfield.
