Liverpool take on the visitors Watford in the round 31 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 2nd at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool still continues to battle for all trophies this season. The Reds have already won the League Cup. But this is the case when the appetite only grows with time. Just in few days, on April 5, there will be a trip to Lisbon - to play a quarter-final match in the Champions League against Benfica. But at the same time, there are objectives in the Premier League. After Manchester City failed to score against Crystal Palace and the gap between two leaders is only one point. Of course, Klopp's men are under high expectation to continue the winning streak. At the moment, the "Reds" have won 9 matches in all competitions they participate, and they have not conceded a single goal in the last 4 matches, including 2-0 win over in-form Arsenal.

Watford is still in relegation zone and changes to avoid the drop are fading. The Hornets managed to beat solid Southampton 2-0 before the international break and improve own spirits. However, it was their first win in last five matches and Watford have only 22 points at the moment with 29 matches played. Everton, closest to them, have 25 points and 2 more games to play. At the same time, we should note that appointment of experienced Roy Hodgson was a right move and the team managed to improve their football with new manager. The obvious mistake was to trust Ranieri for too long and the team is big troubles as there is almost not time to fix the situation. Still, involvement in relegation battle gives extra motivation to players and Hodgson at least managed to sort some problems in defense.
Liverpool dominates in head-to-heads, winning 8 out of last 10 clashes between the teams, including impressive 5-0 victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season. We can expect Watford to be focused on defending 0-0 score while Liverpool should definitely keep in mind upcoming voyage to Lisbon and won’t strive for thrashing the opponents.
Prediction for the match: Under 4.0 goals scored.
