Liverpool welcome Watford to Anfield tonight in another key game in the Premier League title race.
The Reds are a point ahead of second-place Manchester City in the top-flight table and can’t afford a slip-up against the in-form Hornets this evening.
Liverpool vs Watford: When it is?
The game on Merseyside is scheduled for Wednesday, February 27 with kick-off set for 8pm.
Liverpool vs Watford: Team news
Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino misses out tonight after the Brazilian was forced off in the first half of Sunday’s goalless draw at Manchester United after rolling his right ankle.
While the injury is not as serious as first feared, he will not feature at Anfield.
Naby Keita has recovered from illness and is on the bench but Dejan Lovren is not yet ready to return from his hamstring problem.
Watford boss Javi Gracia has no fresh injury concerns ahead of their trip to Merseyside.
Gracia has picked the same side that thrashed Cardiff 5-1 on Friday, with only Kiko Femenia missing out.
The full-back has returned to training following a hamstring injury but tonight’s clash comes too soon.
