Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Watford at Anfield. The Reds are aiming to bounce back from their defeat at Man United last weekend with a victory that would move them back up to third. Kick off 17.30 GMT.

A number of Liverpool players are making milestone appearances this evening. Henderson is featuring in his 200th league game for the Reds, while Sadio Mane is playing his 50th. It's a ton of PL outings for Wijnaldum too (including his time at Newcastle).

TRAVEL SICKNESS: Watford haven't won in eight away league matches and have picked up just one point in that time. The Hornets have lacked a sting too, netting just two goals in that sequence.

On the opening day of the season the two sides played out a pulsating 3-3 draw at Vicarage Road. Watford led twice before the Reds hit back to go into the final moments 3-2 up. However, the Merseysiders couldn't hold the lead - a recurring issue at times throughout the campaign - as Miguel Britos earned a point in injury times.

Roberto Firmino has been involved in six goals in his last four Premier League outings versus Watford, netting three times. The former Hoffenheim forward has 13 league goals so far this term and is one away from equalling Robinho's record tally for a Brazilian.The former Man City man plundered 14 in 2008-09.

You have to go back to 1999 for Watford's only win at Anfield in the top flight. Tommy Mooney was the man making the headlines as he notched to give the visitors a shock 1-0 success. Since then the Hornets have triumphed in just one of the 10 games against the Merseysiders (losing on eight occasions).

Javi Gracia: "If we play an open game against Liverpool, we have a lot of chances to lose the game. So we need to have a balance to be able to defend, but we need to attack as well - if you play this match only thinking about defending, you are going to lose for sure."

Jurgen Klopp: "We want to go back immediately on the winning side. I saw Arsenal versus Watford and it wasn't a 3-0 - Watford were really strong that day, caused a lot of problems."

Liverpool make four changes from the defeat at United. Captain Jordan Henderson starts along with Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Georginio Wijnaldum. That means James Milner, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain drop to the bench. However, Dejan Lovren not even in the squad deu to injury.
