Liverpool vs Watford Preview
After four consecutive wins, Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw against Porto in the Champions League followed by a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. No too much can be taken from the result against Porto as Liverpool already lead 5-0 on aggregate from the first leg but Klopp will be disappointed that his side couldn’t take away a point against United given that they had 68% possession to United’s 32% and had 14 attempts on goal to the hosts 5. That league defeat has left Liverpool in 4th position in the league and four points ahead of 5th-placed Chelsea. Klopp will be determined to secure a Champions League spot and knows that his side must continue to pick up points with having to play Chelsea away from home in the second to last game of the season. Chelsea play Tottenham in their next league game in two weeks time and a win for the Reds on Saturday could mean that they move 7 points safe inside the Champions League places should Chelsea fail to take anything away from the game.
Jürgen Klopp has a fully fit squad to choose from with the possible exception of Nathaniel Clyne. Klopp may opt to start Jordan Henderson in central midfield after being left on the bench for the trip to Old Trafford at the weekend. Georginio Wijnaldum could also return to the starting eleven replacing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Watford have have a mixed run of form of late and after picking up three wins from four, including a 4-1 win at home to Chelsea, the Hornets suffered a 3-0 defeat away to Arsenal. Troy Deeney missed a penalty in the 62nd minute when the visitors were 2-0 down to bring them back in the game and a 77th-minute goal from Henrikh Mkhitaryan sealed the win for the Gunners leaving Watford to travel home with no points.
The majority of Watford’s points lately have come from home games where they are unbeaten in their last five, winning four of them. However, on the road, Watford have been exceptionally poor and have only picked up one win since September 2017 and losing 10 of the 13 games since then. What is perhaps more worrying for Javi Gracia’s side is that they have only found the net two times in their last nine away games and have been unable to at all in their last five.
Javi Gracia may be without a string of players for the trip to Anfield including Tommie Hoban, Craig Cathcart, Nathaniel Chalobah, Christian Kabasele, Tom Cleverley and Gerard Deulofeu who are all injured. With not a lot of players available for selection, Gracia may opt to start with the same eleven that lined up against Arsenal last weekend.

Liverpool vs Watford Predictions
Liverpool are unbeaten in the league at Anfield this term and have found the net 2.2 times per game on average. They’re up against a Watford side who have only picked up one point away from home since December and so we can’t see anything other than a home win in this fixture. With Watford struggling to find goals on the road, we’re backing the hosts to win to nil and with Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino in form, we wouldn’t be surprised to see over 2.5 goals.
