The final international break of the campaign is over, and we’re into the business end of the season.

It feels as though all eyes are on Liverpool as we head into April as the Reds attempt to complete a truly unprecedented quadruple, and they can move to the top of the Premier League on Saturday with a result against Watford.

The Reds go into this one as heavy favourites against a relegation-threatened Watford side, but as we all should know by now, there’s no such thing as a foregone conclusion in the Premier League.

With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Liverpool’s starting XI for this one.

We think that Jurgen Klopp will make five changes from the side that narrowly beat Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

Alisson Becker remains in goal, and while Klopp hinted that Trent Alexander-Arnold could return here, it may not be worth risking the full-back in a game like this.

Joel Matip comes in for Ibrahima Konate, while Andy Robertson is back after having coronavirus.

Thiago, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson start in the midfield.

Mohamed Salah suffered World Cup heartbreak this week, but the Egyptian is straight back into the Liverpool side as he looks to take his mind off of this disappointment.

Roberto Firmino gets a start up top in this one, while Luis Diaz plays down the left.
