Liverpool host Watford at Anfield on Saturday (1:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN and online via NBCSports.com) with Jurgen Klopp’s men aiming to go third in the Premier League table.
With Liverpool’s other top four rivals Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea all in FA Cup action this weekend, this is a chance for the Reds to give themselves some breathing space.
Javi Gracia and Watford know the pressure is off as they sit in 10th place in the table and they will see this game as a free hit.
In team news Liverpool bring in Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum into the starting lineup.
Watford bring in Britos for Janmaat.
