Storylines
Liverpool: Nothing short of three points here will be accepted. The Reds have dropped six points over their last four games with a win and three draws. These games at home are the ones they really need to stay in first place. A draw will feel like a defeat and should see them finish the weekend in second if it happens.
Watford: It's all about finishing as high as they can now. Sixth place is 10 points off and very unlikely, so they'll likely battle with Wolves and perhaps West Ham and Bournemouth for that spot. It would be a fantastic season if this team can finish seventh or eight. This team is in such a good spot that it could probably lose all of its remaining games and still avoid relegation.
Liverpool vs. Watford prediction
The Reds get a goal in both halves to put the pressure on Manchester City.
Pick: Liverpool (-400)
