Liverpool vs Watford Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Liverpool will be looking to consolidate their position at the top of the Premier League table when they welcome Watford to Anfield on Wednesday.

Jurgen Klopp's men were disappointed to only draw away to Manchester United on Sunday, although that point was still enough to put them clear of Manchester City and into first place.

Latest odds

Having won 10 of the previous 11 top flight games between the sides at this ground, they are 2/9 (1.22) favourites with William Hill to maintain the pace at the summit with a win here.

However, the Hornets have only lost two of their last 15 fixtures in all competitions, and can be backed at 12/1 (13.00) to damage their opponents' title bid with a shock victory.

Four of the hosts' last five matches have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 11/2 (6.50) available on this one also finishing up all square.

Team news

Roberto Firmino is unlikely to feature after leaving Old Trafford on crutches due to an ankle injury, while Joe Gomez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are both out and Dejan Lovren doubtful.

Jose Holebas is unavailable as he completes the second of his two suspended matches, with Kiko Femenia the only injury doubt.

Robust Watford

Despite scoring 11 goals and conceding just two in their last two home games against this opposition, the Reds will be hard pushed to run riot again on current form.

Having found the net just 12 times in nine matches since the turn of the year and scored more than once in only one of their last five games, they are more likely to have to battle for three points against their in-form guests.

Indeed, the only two defeats Javi Gracia's men have suffered over the past 15 fixtures have come in tight games against Chelsea and Tottenham, with both of those finishing 2-1.

Predictions

With Firmino absent for the misfiring home side, even odds (2.00) are well worth backing on Watford avoiding a two-goal margin of defeat at Anfield.
