Premier League leaders Liverpool will expect to continue their remarkable unbeaten run against bottom-of-the-league Watford when the pair meet at Anfield on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp's side have not lost in 16 Premier League games so far this term, winning 15, and are on an 18-game run without defeat in all competitions to boot.
Watford, on the other hand, have just one league win this season and are rooted to the foot of the table with just nine points.
