Roy Hodgson gives verdict on Liverpool's quadruple pursuit ahead of Watford clash

Roy Hodgson goes back to Anfield insisting the Quadruple is not an impossible dream for Liverpool.

The former England manager heads for Merseyside hoping lowly Watford can “surprise the football world” by stalling the red juggernaut as Jurgen Klopp's side begin the final countdown to an unprecedented clean sweep of major honours. In 1999, the year Watford pulled off their only win at Liverpool under Graham Taylor, Manchester United achieved the Treble, and Hodgson believes Liverpool may have the firepower to go one better.

Klopp, who has already banked the League Cup, faces Manchester City twice in a week – in a possible title shoot-out at the Etihad and the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley – and the Kop head for Portugal in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday. Hornets boss Hodgson, whose reign as Liverpool manager lasted just 31 games in 2010-11, said: “I think the Quadruple is possible. A Treble is a wonderful achievement. To win the Quadruple you've got to beat the best in Europe as well as in your own country but, yes, I do believe it's a possibility.
