Liverpool vs Watford LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal ... (The Independent)

Will Liverpool take temporary top spot in the Premier League? Follow all the latest updates from the game at Anfield.

For Roy Hodgson and Watford the match represents a stiff test, but they can ill-afford to roll over with the relegation scrap entering its final weeks. With the two sides around 18th-placed Watford in the league – Everton above and Burnley below – meeting next week, the Hornets could find themselves slipping off the pace if they fail to take any points today. “Physically he should be fine,” Klopp said on Friday. “Now I have to make the decision about rhythm and these kinds of things.”

Liverpool take on Watford as Jurgen Klopp's side look to go top of the Premier League. A victory would see Liverpool move two points ahead of Manchester ...

Will Jurgen Klopp's side go top of the table or will Watford spring a surprise? Jurgen Klopp's side ran out 5-0 winners when these sides met at Vicarage Road earlier in the season, but they won't be taking anything for granted as It looks as if Gomez will be at right-back today as Alexander-Arnold is only on the bench. Watford have made it difficult for Jurgen Klopp's team at times, but as things stand Liverpool will be going top of the league. Watford then create a chance themselves, with the ball falling to Sarr, whose effort goes over. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez and Curtis Jones all start as Liverpool make four changes from their last Premier League game. Liverpool certainly have had things their own way and Kamara is working hard as he looks to stop Salah from making a major impact. Following the subsequent corner Cucho Hernandez requires treatment following a clash of heads. It's expected that Salah will be replaced soon, with Sadio Mane poised to enter the fray. Watford then miss an excellent chance, with Sarr playing in Joao Pedro, who drags his effort wide. 65 mins: Fabinho plays a neat pass in towards Salah, whose effort goes just over. 82 mins: Jurgen Klopp looks a little concerned, with victory still not secure for his side.

As Liverpool prepare to face Watford at Anfield in a huge Premier League clash in Saturday's early kick-off, an interesting predicted lineup has emerged ...

The starting lineup after an international break is always a difficult one to predict and with so much competition in the ranks at the moment, the task becomes even harder. Anfield Watch have predicted their starting lineup for the clash with the Hornets and it makes interesting reading. Jurgen Klopp's team have been faultless in their chase of rivals Manchester City over recent weeks and will be looking to pile the pressure on with another win against the Hornets in Saturday's early kick-off.

Diogo Jota helps see off Watford as Liverpool make it 10 in a row (The Guardian)

Goals from Diogo Jota and Fabinho saw Liverpool beat Watford 2-0 for a 10th successive Premier League win.

Substitute Fabinho swept the penalty into the top corner and Liverpool into pole position. The visitors possessed a clear threat too, on the break and from set pieces, and performed with a composure that belied their lowly league position. Jota, keeping his eye on the ball and not on the keeper soaring towards him, bravely flicked home his 20th goal in all competitions this season. Cucho Hernández had another decent chance for Watford when connecting with Imran Louza’s corner to the near post. Their three clean sheets in the league this season have all come on Roy Hodgson’s watch and, with trusted assistant Ray Lewington alongside him, the former Liverpool manager oversaw a typically well-drilled defensive display from his team. Jürgen Klopp’s team were far from their fluid, dominant best against relegation-threatened Watford but that was an irrelevance alongside a 10th successive league win that took Liverpool top before Manchester City’s visit to Burnley.

'Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league!' - Gomez's Alexander-Arnold ... (Goal.com)

Liverpool's reluctant right-back Joe Gomez created the opening goal for Diogo Jota with a fine cross as Jurgen Klopp's men made it 10 Premier League wins in ...

The relief was palpable. In terms of penalty-box movement and anticipation, there are few better around. They’ll need to play better than they did here, but they’re still in there. They – and their supporters – needed the security of a second goal, but they had to wait until the 89th minute to get it, Fabinho scoring from the penalty spot after the VAR had spotted a foul by Kucka on Jota in the area. They were 16 games from greatness this morning; now, they are one closer. Joe Gomez is a somewhat reluctant full-back these days, but that doesn’t mean he’s an ineffective one.

The cross by Gomez was very much like one you would see from Liverpool's usual right-back. After a very good chance for Watford at the other end just before, a beautiful cross by Joe Gomez, who is standing in for Trent Alexander-Arnold, found the head of Diogo Jota. A win would see Jurgen Klopp's men go two points clear of Manchester City.

Most of his outings have been at right-back, where in his previous appearance before the international break, Gomez failed to find a Liverpool player with four attempted crosses against Nottingham Forest. But, with Alexander-Arnold's injury looming over his head, and Neco Williams out on loan, the international break gave Gomez the perfect opportunity to work on polishing that side of his game, and there was marked improvement in his output against Watford this afternoon. It was a complete performance from the Liverpool centre-back, and one of his best showings, if not his best, at right-back since arriving at Anfield. One that might have just solved FSG's headache about finding an adequate back-up for Alexander-Arnold in the summer.

Liverpool can rely on Diogo Jota as Mo Salah struggles to get over ... (ESPN)

LIVERPOOL, England -- Mohamed Salah played like a man who had just missed out on World Cup qualification as Liverpool made it 10 successive Premier League ...

But if Salah is unable to rediscover his form and sharpness in the weeks ahead, Liverpool at least know that Jota is ready, willing and able to fill the void -- a point he made with his headed goal. But while Salah deals with the angst of missing out on AFCON glory and World Cup qualification, Liverpool can rely on Jota. And that's why they are now one step closer to an unprecedented quadruple. The Portugal international scored both in a 2-0 win against Leicester and has also netted the crucial openers in wins against Arsenal, Nottingham Forest (in the FA Cup) and in this game against Watford. To suffer a similar heavy blow so soon afterward -- one that may have denied Salah his final chance to play at the World Cup after his Russia 2018 campaign was marred by the aftereffects of a shoulder injury -- will undoubtedly weigh heavily on Salah, and it was evident against Watford that the forward was nowhere near his best form. But he has also lost his edge in Liverpool's big games, with his goals since returning from AFCON duty coming against Leeds, Norwich, Brighton and one against Inter Milan. Every player has off days, even supreme talents like Salah, but with Liverpool still chasing a quadruple this season, they need their talisman to shake off his World Cup hangover quickly.
