Liverpool vs Watford Preview
Liverpool have bad news on the injury front as Danny Ings is out for up to 9 months with a knee injury. He joins Sheyi Ojo and Joseph Gomez on the sidelines but James Milner is expected to come back in for Alberto Moreno after recovering from an illness. Adam Lallana is a goal-scoring midfielder that can help support the attacking three of Coutinho, Mane and Firmino.
Watford have Stefano Okaka, Kenedy, Brice Dja Djédjé and Isaac Success out injured. Both Sebastian Prödl and Craig Cathcart are doubtful but may be included if they prove their fitness in time. Nordin Amrabat was man of the match last time out, so could keep Daryl Janmaat on the bench.

Liverpool vs Watford Prediction
Liverpool are unbeaten in 11 matches and come into this game on a 3 game winning run. They enjoyed 2-1 home successes against West Brom and Tottenham Hotspur before throwing caution to the wind in a pulsating win away at Crystal Palace.
Watford’s form is steady but they have played 3 sides that are hoping to avoid relegation recently and this will be much tougher. They claimed a narrow 01 win away to Middlesbrough before drawing 0-0 at Swansea. The latest success against Hull means that the Hornets have kept 3 successive clean sheets but they come up against the league’s top-scorers here.
Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 Premier League matches and have won 6 of their last 7 matches against Watford in all competitions. The Reds have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches against Watford but have been prone to letting one in this season which is reflected in the Correct Score prediction.
