Liverpool host Watford at Anfield this Sunday.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp
Former player Jamie Redknapp has predicted that Liverpool will run out 3-0 winners over Watford this weekend when the two sides meet at Anfield, Sky Sports report.
The Reds have begun the season in top form, picking up 23 points from ten league matches. They head in to their clash with Watford boasting an impressive eight game unbeaten run.
Watford are also in good form, picking up eight points from their last four matches – which has seen them rise to seventh in the Premier League table, ahead of Manchester United.
Liverpool will be wary of Watford’s ability – having suffered a 3-0 defeat against them last term, yet Redknapp feels Jurgen Klopp’s players will turn the tables and inflict their own heavy defeat on the away side.
“Watford have had a good run and are up to seventh in the table, which is brilliant for them. But once Liverpool start moving it around at Anfield on Sunday, I think Watford will realise it’s going to be a difficult afternoon. I’m going for a 3-0 win for Liverpool,” Redknapp told Sky Sports.

Liverpool have already shown their capabilities with some impressive wins away at Arsenal and Chelsea, but the real challenge for them is to remain consistent and see off the so-called lesser sides.
The Reds dropped a number of home points last season against the likes of West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace and Sunderland.
Watford have lost only one of their five away games this season, and have every right to head to Anfield in confident mood.
