Team news

Jurgen Klopp is hopeful that Dejan Lovren will be able to start against the Hornets.

The Croat was taken off against Salzburg but Klopp is hopeful that it was only a recurrence of the cramp he suffered at Bournemouth.

He said: “We hope it’s exactly the same like last time he felt something and we made a decision,” said the manager.

“It wasn’t cool. He played really well and was very important in those 55 minutes.

“We don’t know at the moment. Like last time, we have to see.”

Adam Lallana is set to return to training but Klopp does not want to rush the England star, while Fabinho and Joel Matip are set to miss the entire Christmas period.

Watford will be hoping Roberto Pereyra is fit for the trip to Anfield after being taken off with a knock against Crystal Palace.

Pearson said on Thursday: “Pereyra, who played last week, we’ll look at tomorrow. Holebas will not be available and we’ll review Masina again in the morning.”

Craig Dawson is set to return for the Hornets after going off with a head injury in their 3-0 defeat to Burnley three weeks ago.
