Liverpool predicted lineup vs Watford - Premier League

Last Updated : 31-Mar-2022 by 90min

Liverpool welcome Watford to Anfield on Saturday in the Premier League as the Reds look to continue their title charge.

Victory for Jurgen Klopp's side would set up a mouthwatering clash at the top of the table with leaders Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium next weekend, with Liverpool currently a point adrift of last season's champions.

The Reds are currently on an eight-game winning run in the league since their 2-2 draw with Chelsea in January and will fancy their chances of extending that run against a Watford side currently languishing in the relegation zone.

Here's how the Reds could shape up.

Alisson (GK) - The Brazilian showed in the vital 2-0 win at Arsenal that he can be the difference between success and failure for Liverpool this term.

Ibrahima Konate (CB) - Will likely be given the nod with Klopp looking ahead to the trip to Benfica in midweek.

Virgil van Dijk (CB) - No Liverpool player has played more accurate passes per match than the Dutchman this season (68.2).

Andy Robertson (LB) - The Reds faithful will have breathed a huge sigh of relief when the full back returned to the Scotland squad in midweek after an injury scare.

2. Midfielders

Fabinho (CM) - The lynchpin of this Liverpool side, constantly disrupting opposition attacks before they can get going.

Thiago Alcantara (CM) - The Spaniard's ability to put his foot on the ball and calm proceedings makes him invaluable under Klopp.

Harvey Elliott (CM) - His return from injury ahead of schedule provides Klopp with another midfield option during a hectic run of games.

3. Forwards

Mohamed Salah (RW) - 20 goals in the league for Liverpool this term, although he has netted just once since the middle of February.

Diogo Jota (ST) - Helped fire Portugal to World Cup qualification, with his potency in front of goal likely to prove significant for Liverpool over the coming months.

Luis Diaz (LW) - Impressed on international duty for Colombia, underlining his brilliance for both club and country this season.
