Liverpool vs. Watford: Team News, Preview, Live Stream, TV Info

Liverpool can extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to nine games if they can avoid defeat at home to Watford on Sunday.

The Reds have lost just one league match this season, and should Manchester City and Arsenal fail to pick up three points, a win would see them top the table.

Meanwhile Watford come into the match seventh in the league having made a solid start under Walter Mazzarri.

Team News

Per the Sun's Alec Shilton, James Milner is set to return from illness to feature at left-back for Liverpool, but the Reds will be without Danny Ings for the game—and indeed the remainder of the season—after he suffered a knee injury in the EFL Cup.

Meanwhile, Shilton reported Sebastian Prodl as doubtful due to a groin issue, while Stefano Okaka is also a doubt because of his hamstring.

The Hornets' confirmed absentees are Isaac Success, Kenedy and Craig Cathcart.

Predicted Liverpool lineup: Loris Karius; James Milner, Joel Matip, Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne; Jordan Henderson, Emre Can, Adam Lallana; Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino

Predicted Watford lineup: Heurelho Gomes; Younes Kaboul, Miguel Britos, Sebastian Prodl; Nordin Amrabat, Jose Holebas, Roberto Pereyra, Etienne Capoue, Valon Behrami; Odion Ighalo, Troy Deeney.

Preview

It may well be a case of attack vs. defence at Anfield on Sunday.

The Reds are the joint top goalscorers in the division with 24 strikes to their name and have scored at least twice in every game since the start of September, save for the 0-0 draw with Manchester United, where they were denied only by David De Gea's brilliance.

Liverpool boast impressive quality throughout their attack—Coutinho, Mane, Milner and Firmino each have four league goals, while Lallana has netted three times. As Liverpool writer Dave O'Connell demonstrated, they regularly carve open their opponents with their marauding play in the final third:

The Reds hailed their performances this season:

Per Chris Shaw for Liverpool's official website, Firmino called for his team-mates to continue their strong run of form: "If we do not continue on this track until the end of the season, no-one will remember us and we will not achieve anything. We have to continue on this track until the end."

In their 4-2 win away at Crystal Palace last time out, it was Coutinho who caught the eye the most with two assists.

Bleacher Report UK's Jack Lusby singled him out for praise:

The Brazilian's supreme talent has always been evident, but this season in particular he's begun to show it on a more consistent basis—all too often in recent years, he would often produce largely anonymous performances apart from the occasional moment of quality.

A strong performance from the playmaker will go a long way if Liverpool are to break Watford down.

The Hornets conceded just two goals in October and have kept clean sheets in each of their last three Premier League games.

Mazzarri's side haven't always been fully convincing, though—their unbeaten run of four games consists of narrow 1-0 wins over Middlesbrough and Hull City and draws with Bournemouth and Swansea City.

Watford passed their last big test when they beat Manchester United 3-1, but against an in-form Liverpool side at Anfield, it will take a monumental effort to avoid defeat.
