    Deulofeu's corner hits the outside of the post.
  • 80'
    Mix-up in the Liverpool defence. Alisson comes for the ball and Van Dijk passes back but doesn't know he's coming and passes past him and it goes past the post for a corner. Heart in your mouth stuff and not what you'd expect from Van-Dijk.

  • 57'
    Milner is booked for a bad foul on Saar.
  • 56'
    I'd say Watford have been the better side here, they could be in front if it wasn't for 2 very good saves from Alisson.
  • 54'
    Another save from Alisson. Deulofeu is played through and shoots from inside the box, Alisson stays up and saves with his chest. Good save.
  • 52'
    Incredible. A matter of centimetres and it has been disallowed. Another controversial decsion from VAR.
  • 51'
    Shaqiri whips in a cross from the right and Mané heads in the bottom corner. VAR is checking and if this is dissalowed it'll be controversial.

    HT: Liverpool 1-0 Watford. An undeserved lead but it just shows you that you need to make the most of your chances. Liverpool have done that and lead at the break.

    Great chance for Watford. Capoué gets down the left and finds Doucouré at the penalty spot and but he scuffs his shot.
  • 33'
    Doucouré goes down the left and gets a cross in, and Van Dijk manages to clear. If he didn't touch that Deeney was putting it in the net.

    Still no clear cut chances. Watford are doing well to hold the league leaders.

    Hughes is booked for a foul on Henderson.
  • 25'
    Milner crosses, it is headed away and Mané tries the volley from just inside the box but it goes over the bar.

    First chance for Watford. Hughes wins the ball and runs with it and takes a shot from outside the box but it goes wide.
  • 23'
    First chance of the game, Mané crosses, it is knocked away by the Watford defender and comes to Henderson in the box who skies it over.
  • 22'
    Both teams are losing the ball a lot here, I wonder if there is a bit of nerves.
  • 17'
    Still no chances so far, Watford are playing some good stuff under new manager Nigel Pearson.
  • 10'
    Liverpool look the most likely to score here.
  • 6'

    No matter how many times I watch Liverpool at Anfield, it alway gives me goosebumps listening to the fans singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' with their scarves. Incredible atmosphere!!
  • PRVW
    Absolutely freezing!!!!

    Last match between the sides was a 5-0 win for the hosts last season. Watford haven't beaten Liverpool since 2015 and last one at Anfield in 1999.
  • PRVW
    Robertson is presumably on the bench because of Liverpool's hectic schedule this month. This is their 4th game of the month, they play on Tuesday in the League Cup (albeit it'll be a young side) and the Club World Cup on Wednesday. Both of those games you'll be able to catch with us.
  • PRVW
    Watford make 2 changes from their 0-0 draw at home to Crystal Palace. Mariappa and Hughes come in for Masina and Pereyra.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool make 3 changes from the side that beat Salzburg 2-0. Robertson, Lovren and Keita are replaced by Milner, Gomez and Shaqiri.
