This weekend Liverpool lineup against Watford with the Premier League’s consecutive win record there to be broken. The Reds head into the game having had to fight hard for a win over West Ham on Monday night, The Hornets took a 3-0 battering at Old Trafford last Saturday. Here is our predicted Liverpool lineup to face Watford:
Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker
The Brazilian actually let himself down slightly against West Ham, he was found wanting for the visitors’ first goal. We will expect a clean sheet in response.
Right back: Trent Alexander-Arnold
Trent had a couple of difficult games before having a worldy on Monday night, bagging two assists against the Hammers.
Centre back: Joe Gomez
The Englishman had a few sloppy moments in midweek but will bounce back even stronger.
Centre back: Virgil van Dijk
Big Virg will likely captain the side again with the skipper sidelined.
Left back: Andy Robertson
Robbo bagged an assist during a strong performance in the week. Another wouldn’t go amiss.
Defensive midfield: Fabinho
Fabby will operate in a regista role with The Reds set to dominate the possession.
Centre midfield: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
The Ox changed the game when he came on and fully merits a starting berth over former club record signing Naby Keita.
Centre midfield: Gini Wijnaldum
The Dutchman bagged a superlative goal against the Hammers, we’ll need his work rate to keep Watford penned in on Saturday.
Right wing: Mo Salah
Mo got lucky with his goal during a frustrating performance. He scored at Vicarage Road on his debut, he will be looking for another happy memory.
Left wing: Sadio Mane
Sadio grabbed the winner in the week and fully deserved his goal. He’s in fine form.
Striker: Bobby Firmino
Bobby seems to be experiencing something of a lull at the moment, we’re hoping for a creative masterclass on Saturday.
