Liverpool will have a chance to climb to the top of the Premier League table – at least for a couple of hours. The Reds are locked in a breathtaking title chase in which they have to produce results every week and hope that Manchester City would slip up.Jurgen Klopp’s men have got a seemingly easy task – to defeat Watford, the team that’s looking sure of dropping out of the division. But the things aren’t going to go smoothly if Liverpool players think it’s going to be easy.🗣 “If you can’t shout, and sing, stay at home and give your ticket to somebody else please.”Jurgen Klopp calls on the Liverpool fans to create a sensational atmosphere at Anfield against Watford pic.twitter.com/nO5QgYJLrE— Football Daily (@footballdaily) April 1, 2022 Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in full training with the Reds following the hamstring injury that ruled him out of action before and during the international break. Still, Klopp is cautious about picking him today.”It will be tight but it’s possible after all I hear. It’s different if you are part of team training, it depends what you could do before, and he was really with our rehab and fitness department, it was really intense what he did before he trained with us. So physically, he should be fine, now I have to decide about rhythm and these kinds of things.”An emphatic performance in the reverse fixture against Watford earlier this season 🔥 pic.twitter.com/hYEmgoKTJv— Liverpool FC (@LFC) April 1, 2022 Naby Keita was also sidelined for Guinea and is a doubt for the clash with the Hornets having missed training on Thursday.”Yesterday Naby couldn’t train, felt a little bit here and there. I don’t know exactly yet. Nobody called me yet about Naby for today. So, we will see how he is for today. Apart from that, we had them pretty much all available.”If the Reds reach their tenth successive league win, it will be against a vastly improved Watford side who have improved defensively since the former Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson came out of retirement. The Hornets may be favourites to go down, but they won’t go down quietly. They beat Southampton in their last game and gave their fans some hope of what would be the most unlikely of survivals. Should they snatch a point or three on Merseyside today, their confidence would be sky-high.🗣 Roy Hodgson discussed Ismaïla Sarr’s chances of being involved this weekend when speaking to the press this afternoon.#WatfordFC | #LIVWAT— Watford Football Club (@WatfordFC) March 31, 2022 Liverpool have scored 18 goals in their last four home games against Watford, who have won twice as many away matches as they have at Vicarage Road this season.
