GOOD MORNING
Welcome to our live blog of the Premier League clash between Watford and Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s side return to action after the international break knowing a win will send them top of the Premier League ahead of Chelsea’s 5.30pm clash at Brentford.
But the Reds will have to do it without two key men.
Alisson and Fabinho will both not be playing after not returning from international duty in time.
Instead they have flown straight to Spain ahead of the midweek clash against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Curtis Jones is also out of action after returning from England U21 duty injured.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to return though after missing the mast two games.
Watford meanwhile will be led by Claudio Ranieri for the first time this afternoon.
The Italian is back in the Premier League after taking over from the sacked Xisco Munoz.
Spaniard Munoz was relieved of his duties despite the newly promoted side picking up seven points from their first seven games.
The Hornets may be without Josh King after the Norwegian striker picked up a knock against Leeds last time out.
Kick off is at 12.30pm with full team news coming up in half an hour.
