Liverpool vs Watford Prediction & Betting tips
The meeting between the league-leader and the league-leader of the Premier League is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Anfield. Liverpool is at the top of the Premier League with 46 points, Watford has 37 points less and is at the bottom.
Liverpool:
A huge busy week is coming for Liverpool. Saturday afternoon Liverpool plays a home game against Watford in the Premier League, Tuesday evening the Aab Villa match is scheduled in the Carabao Cup and less than 24 hours later Liverpool plays in Qatar at the World Championship for club teams. Jürgen Klopp will probably start against Watford with his best team and will give a rest to Aston Villa and a number of players who will play in Qatar on Wednesday evening. The Premier League and the World Cup for club teams obviously have much more priority for a club like Liverpool than a quarter-final match in the Carabao Cup.
The Champions League also has a high “priority value” for Liverpool and The Reds managed to secure the Champions League knockout phase on Tuesday-evening. On a visit to Red Bull Salzburg, Liverpool managed to score three points with a header from Naby Keïta and not long after the opening goal, Mohamed Salah also found the net. With the win, Liverpool will continue as a group head to the knockout phase of the Champions League. It is expected that Klopp will rotate somewhat against Watford. For example, Divock Origi, recently important in the Merseyside Derby against Everton, could replace Sadio Mané on Saturday afternoon.
Watford:
At Watford they will travel to Liverpool with little confidence. With Nigel Pearson, The Hornets are ready for their third trainer of the season and Pearson started his career well at Watford last weekend. The 56-year-old Pearson immediately took a point in the home game with Crystal Palace in his first duel with Watford: a 0-0 draw. A great result for Watford, who had lost the three games before and could therefore use a good result.
There is little chance that Pearson and Watford will get a good result when they visit Liverpool. For example, The Hornets already played the away game at Manchester City this season and lost 8-0 at Etihad Stadium. For Watford, it is really just a matter of Saturday afternoon to keep the damage limited and the same applies to next weekend when Watford takes on in-house against Manchester United. Around Christmas and New Year, for Watford, duels will follow in which the points must be taken and every point that is taken against Liverpool and / or Manchester United is a bonus point.
