da lvbet： Liverpool host Watford on Wednesday and will be hoping to get back to winning ways having drawn their last two in all competitions, neither of which they were able to score in. Javi Gracia’s men, meanwhile, hit Cardiff for five on Friday and Jurgen Klopp must do one specific thing to stop Troy Deeney and Gerard Deulofeu running riot again.
On the chalkboard
The Reds were uncharacteristically wasteful of their opportunities in front of goal in both games last week and will surely have been dedicating much of their time on the training ground since to finishing practice ahead of the Hornets’ visit.
Klopp’s attack was somewhat disjointed once Roberto Firmino was replaced in the first half due to injury and, if they are to nip their goal drought in the bud, Liverpool may require a reshuffle up front.
Luckily, the German can count on having a plethora of midfield options, with Fabinho, Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson, to name but a few, to choose from – an area which will be vital next time out.
Clog the middle
Neil Warnock’s Bluebirds were unable to deal with the Deeney and Deulofeu link-up play and were made to rue earlier missed chances as they were thumped 5-1; it is unlikely that the league leaders would be on the receiving end of a similar scoreline but they can do one thing to maximise their chances of shutting out the Hertfordshire outfit.
According to WhoScored, a league-high 31% of Watford’s attacks come down the middle – other Premier League teams use the wings far more than the Vicarage Road outfit – meaning that Liverpool should clog up the middle of the park in an attempt to separate their opponents’ deadly strike duo.

Captain Deeney and former Barcelona man Deulofeu are rarely found too far away from each other and this was essential to their win at the weekend, where the latter bagged a hat-trick. Similarly, Klopp will find success keeping his midfield trio in close proximity of each other in order to suffocate the in-form duo. The Reds then have the attack to easily make the difference at the other end.
