Liverpool could briefly claim top spot with a win over Watford at Anfield in Saturday’s early kick-off at Anfield.
The Reds return from the international break looking to extend their winning run to 10 league games. Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson’s side will be hoping to close the gap on the teams above them with an unlikely result in their bid for Premier League survival .
With Manchester City in action against Burnley later the same day, Jurgen Klopp’s side can pile on the pressure with a victory over the Hornets. A selection of pundits have made Liverpool clear favourites, though the Reds have been warned not to overlook Watford as they begin an important few weeks in the title race.
