Epl fixture : possible line-up, game stats, injury news, prediction (wat vs liv)

Liverpool have all to play for as we enter the business end of the season. with no trophies in sight, their main focus is to finally make a return to the money spinning uefa champions league which they have been absent from since the 2014/2015 season, liverpool’s push for a return was given a huge boost this weekend as both manchester teams pushing for the top 4 champions league places recorded draws in their respective fixtures.

last time out liverpool lost on home turf 1-2 to crystal palace, manager jurgen klopp wouldnt want a repeat performance and would be looking for ways to rejuvenate the squad and propel the players for a season ending push.

in this week 35 fixture liverpool visits vicarage road home ground of Watford coached by italian tactician Walter Mazzarri. inspiration will be hard to come by for the watford players as they sit pretty in 13th place and have already attained the famous 40 point mark enough to maintain epl status.

doubt for monday night’s visit of liverpool is craig cathcart because of a knee problem, Switzerland midfielder Valon Behrami, who just returned to the squad after a spell out with a hamstring injury will be monitored. Younes kaboul (hamstring), Roberto Pereyra (knee) and Mauro Zarate (anterior cruciate ligament) are all out for this tie.

liverpool midfielder adam lallana could make a return for this fixture after making a return to first team training since his groin injury a month ago, another player who could make a return is Daniel sturridge who missed the match against crystal palace with a sore hip. Captain Jordan Henderson (foot), klavan, sadio mane and danny ings (all knee) are all long term absentees.

the reverse fixture ended in a 6-1 white wash in favour of liverpool with sadio mane with 2 goals, emre can, coutinho and firmino among the scorers on the night
