    LIVERPOOL v WATFORD

    Anfield Stadium
    Saturday 2nd April 2022
    Kick Off 1230 BST

    Only a couple of months after Liverpool had seemingly conceded the crown to Man City once again, we have a title race on our hands, and Jurgen Klopp's side are showing no signs of faltering as they continue their pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple.
    It is now nine Premier League victories in a row for this rampant Liverpool outfit - who have kept clean sheets in each of their last four in the top flight and have scored 23 in their sparkling winning run - and Anfield is not often a happy hunting ground for visiting teams.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold will not be available as he has a hamstring injury, and
    with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both going the distance in their pivotal World Cup qualifier, Klopp may elect to rotate a tad for Saturday's game.

    Hodgson may be tempted to bring in another defender or two to try to keep the scoreline respectable, but the veteran boss has little reason to alter the winning formula from St Mary's.

    Such a setup would see Joao Pedro and Emmanuel Dennis join Hernandez in the final third, but Ismaila Sarr returned from injury for Senegal during the international break and could force his way in.
    ::: Match Fact :::

    Watford are on a six-game Premier League losing run at Anfield since Graham Taylor oversaw a 1-0 win in August 1999.

    Our Officials

    Referee: Stuart Attwell.

    It's been a while since Atwell has refereed one of our games - only two or three occasions since *that* game against Reading I think. I hope he's up to speed with what constitutes a goal.

    nearly killed me when he scored. I was atop a ladder painting a ceiling... and then I was afoot painting the floor...

    Not expecting much obviously but hopefully we will give them a game and not make it as easy for Liverpool as the home game was.

    Not a bad start, but Liverpool look dangerous every time they attack.

    Typical - we miss a chance and they score .

    Poor defending letting him run in.

    A bit late to the party - that's the last time I agree to go shopping with my wife when there's a match on...

    Doesn't look as though I've missed too much though..

    Great bit of defending by Kabasele - I thought Liverpool were in there.
