Welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Watford.
It is top against bottom this afternoon as the weekend action kicks off at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds lead Leicester City in the title race by eight points after 16 games, and it looks like it will take something special - or disastrous, in Liverpool's case - to see them denied a first League title since 1989.
As for Watford, the Hornets are already on their third manager of the season with Nigel Pearson in charge - following the sackings of both Javi Gracia and Quique Sanchez Flores (again) - and are six points adrift at the foot of the table.
