It’s a big game for…

Odion Ighalo. The Nigerian was one of the revelations of last season as Quique Sanchez Flores’ side finished 13th in their first season back in the top-flight. This campaign has been tougher going, with the goals being shared around the team more evenly in recent months. However, everyone associated with Watford would welcome the return of his strike partner.

Best stat…

Liverpool are three points ahead of their total at the same stage of the 2013/2014 season.

Remember when…

A double from Ighalo inspired the Hornets to a 3-0 win as the Reds were run ragged?

Player to watch...

Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian was criticised along with many of his team-mates during the disappointing final months of the Rodgers regime. However, he really came into his own in the second half of last season and is now considered one of the most dangerous attacking players in the division, linking up brilliantly with Sadio Mané and Philippe Coutinho.

Predicted teams...

Liverpool (4-3-3): Karius; Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Moreno; Lallana, Henderson, Can; Mané, Firmino, Coutinho

Watford’s (5-3-2): Gomes; Amrabat, Kabasele, Kaboul, Britos, Holebas; Pereyra, Behrami, Capoue; Ighalo, Deeeney
