Which players are likely to be unavailable when Liverpool take on Watford?…
Liverpool welcome Watford to Anfield on Saturday with an almost fully fit squad to choose from.
The only players known to be unavailable to manager Jürgen Klopp are youngsters Joe Gomez (knock) and Ben Woodburn (illness).
After defeat to Manchester United last time out, the former Borussia Dortmund boss is likely to make some alterations to his starting eleven.
Those most likely to benefit are Joël Matip, Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum and Adam Lallana.

The Hornets arrive on Merseyside boosted by the return of defender Craig Cathcart from a long-term knee injury.
Elsewhere it’s not so positive though with Younes Kaboul (fractured Metatarsal), Christian Kabasele, Tom Cleverley (both hamstring), Nathaniel Chalobah (knee) and Gerard Deulofeu (foot) amongst those ruled out.
Neither side has anyone ruled out through suspension but Liverpool midfielder Emre Can remains just one booking away from reaching 10 for the campaign and triggering a two-match ban.
The cut-off point for the 10-game cumulative yellow card suspension is 32 matches; this is Liverpool’s 31st Premier League fixture of the campaign.
