Three weeks without Premier League action for Watford ends this Saturday lunchtime, when they take on Liverpool at Anfield (April 2, 12.30pm KO) in search of three more points in the fight against relegation.

October 16 saw Jürgen Klopp’s Reds win 5-0 at Vicarage Road in the reverse fixture, with goals from Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, as well as a Roberto Firmino hat-trick.

As we look ahead to the trip north, here is everything you need to know about our opposition…

Inspired Form

Liverpool are currently the most in-form team in the Premier League, winning their last six league games, scoring 15 and conceding just one goal. Reviving their title charge and closing the gap on league leaders Manchester City, the Merseyside outfit are just one point behind Pep Guardiola’s charges, and would go top with a win against the Hornets.

The Reds have lost just once in the Premier League since their last clash with Watford, a narrow 1-0 defeat to Leicester City on December 28. The only other loss in all competitions was against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League, but the 1-0 scoreline ensured they would progress to the quarter-finals of the competition 2-1 on aggregate thanks to their away win three weeks prior.

League Cup Glory

March garnered Liverpool’s first silverware of the season when they beat Chelsea on penalties in the Carabao Cup. A highly-entertaining 0-0 draw took the game to the wire, and Liverpool’s flawless shoot-out, where all 11 penalties were successfully converted, sealed victory.

Still in the mix in all of their competitions, the Reds have another Wembley trip in the diary, facing Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals in mid-April. Benfica await them in Europe for a two-legged quarter-final tie, spelling a busy few weeks ahead for Klopp’s men.

High-Profile Signing

Luis Díaz touched down on Merseyside in January to add to an already potent Liverpool attack. The Colombian winger, signed from FC Porto, has already netted twice in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, defensive duo Nathaniel Phillips and Neco Williams have made Championship loan moves, to AFC Bournemouth and Fulham respectively.
