Stadium: Anfield
The Reds can maintain their place at the top of the Premier League with a win over Javi Gracia's Hornets at Anfield
It won't get the build-up of Sunday's game, but Liverpool's next fixture is no less important.
After going back to the top of the Premier League with a goalless draw at Manchester United, the Reds welcome Watford to Anfield on Wednesday night.
With Manchester City in action at home to West Ham at the same time, it promises to be another tense evening in the title race.
Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is doubtful for the visit of Watford but has not yet been ruled out by manager Jurgen Klopp.
The Brazil international was forced off in the first half of Sunday's goalless draw at Manchester United after rolling his right ankle and - while the injury is not as serious as first feared - he appears unlikely to feature at Anfield.
Team News:
Liverpool's Roberto Firmino has a chance of playing despite being forced off at Manchester United with an ankle problem.
Should the Reds decide against risking him, the Brazilian would be likely to return in Sunday's Merseyside derby with Everton.
Naby Keita will be monitored after a recent illness, but defenders Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez remain out.
Watford could name the same side which began Friday's 5-1 win against Cardiff.
This match comes too soon for full-back Kiko Femenia, who is back in training after a hamstring injury, but he is expected to be their only absentee.
