Liverpool are one of England's most in-form teams at present, with Jürgen Klopp's side having won nine of their last 11 matches in all competitions. It's a run that has seen them charge straight up the table, and they're headed into the weekend with only tiebreakers keeping them from the top spot. They'll certainly fancy their chances of maintaining their good record on Sunday, when they welcome mid-table Watford to Anfield.

To be sure, Walter Mazzarri’s side have made a fine start to the season, and find themselves up in seventh place after the first 10 rounds. They head into this encounter on the back of a four-game unbeaten streak, and are on course to comfortably avoid a messy relegation scrap. However, the Hornets are sure to find life difficult on Sunday, against a team that appears to have mastered Klopp’s entertaining brand of high-tempo football.

Three big things to know
1. Home advantage certainly gives Liverpool reason for optimism. Not only did they win 2-0 when these sides met at Anfield last May, but not since 1999 have they been beaten at home to Watford, who nevertheless went on to finish that season rock bottom of the Premier League table.
2. Liverpool have scored 24 goals in their 10 league games so far this season, which, alongside Manchester City, is the joint-highest tally. Watford, by contrast, have scored 10 fewer goals so far.
3. Liverpool were earlier in the week hit by the news that striker Danny Ings faces the better part of a year on the sidelines. The 24-year-old's spell at Anfield has so far been marred by constant fitness problems, and he's made just three Premier League starts since making the move from Burnley in the summer of 2015.
