Team News: Simon Mignolet missing for Liverpool at Watford

Mignolet missing for Liverpool

Liverpool are without goalkeeper Simon Mignolet for their Premier League trip to in-form Watford this afternoon.

The Belgian stopper was a late withdrawal from the lineup due to a hamstring injury and has been replaced between the sticks by Adam Bogdan.

Mignolet's absence is one of four changes that Jurgen Klopp has made to the side that drew 2-2 with West Bromwich Albion last weekend.

Dejan Lovren and James Milner are also injured and respectively replaced by Mamadou Sakho and Lucas Leiva, while in attack Roberto Firmino gets the nod over Christian Benteke, who drops to the bench.

As for Watford, the Hornets are chasing a fourth straight win and unsurprisingly Quique Flores names an unchanged lineup.

Watford: Gomes; Nyom, Britos, Cathcart, Ake; Capoue, Watson; Abdi, Deeney, Jurado; Ighalo Subs: Arlauskis, Holebas, Behrami, Guedioura, Anya, Diamanti, Oulare

Liverpool: Bogdan; Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno; Lucas, Henderson, Can; Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino Subs: Fulton, Toure, Randall, Allen, Ibe, Origi, Benteke
