Watford hosts Liverpool in round 8 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 16h at Vicarage Road (Watford)
Watford is in 15th place in the standings (seven points after seven games). The Golden Boys gained two victories and one draw and suffered four defeats. They started this Premier League under the leadership of Xisko Muñoz with a productive home victory over Aston Villa (3-2), but then they rarely delighted the fans with the points scored. In six rounds, the Hornets dealt only with Norwich (3-1) and shared points with Newcastle (1-1). The rest of the games were lost. The last straw for the management of Watford was an away defeat to Leeds (1-0) on October 2. After that, Muñoz, who pulled the team out of the Championship in the 2020/21 season, was fired from his post. And Experienced Claudio Ranieri replaced him.

Liverpool is on the 2nd line in the English Premier League standings (15 points after seven rounds). The Reds chalked up four victories and three draws. They have been successful in the Premier League, Champions League, and League Cup. Liverpool gained seven wins and three draws in all tournaments. Klopp's team remained the last team of the Premier League that avoided defeats in the current season. On October 3, Liverpool had a home match against another contender for the champion’s title, Manchester City. The game ended with a score of 2-2. The Reds took the lead twice through the efforts of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, but the current title holders escaped an away defeat.
In his debut match at Watford, Ranieri will face a dangerous opponent. Liverpool gained excellent momentum before the break. In six of the last seven games in all tournaments, the Reds have scored at least three goals. Even powerful Manchester City conceded two goals at Anfield. Most likely, the defense of the Hornets will also have a tough time. Nevertheless, there are prerequisites that Ranieri's team will actively resist the favorite. Liverpool will certainly not be in their best shape due to the departure of the leaders to the national teams, and Alisson and Fabinho may not have time to return from Brazil. In addition, on October 19, Klopp's team will have a difficult away game against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. It’s worth believing in a goal scored by the hosts. Watford has already scored in three out of four last home games, while Liverpool had defensive problems in the last three matches, conceding a total of six goals from Brentford, Porto, and Manchester City.
Prediction for the match: Watford to score over 0.5 goals
