The visiting Liverpool side should be favourites in this visit to Watford, as the away team holds a 55 point advantage from their 27 league games this season.

Watford form and stats

When playing at home in the Premier League, Watford have managed 3 wins, 5 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 13 games.

In their previous game, the manager N. Pearson led his Watford to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Manchester United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Vicarage Road. 1-1 away at Brighton & Hove Albion before that.

The Watford fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. On the other hand, Watford have conceded 17 goals.

Liverpool form and stats

Liverpool, who have the most clean sheets (12) in Premier League, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 37 points collected from 13 Premier League games. 12 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats is the record so far. Impressively, the visitors are on a 18-match winning run which they hope continue versus Watford. Liverpool has been amazing away for a time now, winning eight in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Manchester United.

The supporters enjoyed Liverpool's previous game versus West Ham United (placed 18th), a Premier League 3-2 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Atlético Madrid's place.

Liverpool has another fixture away, a FA Cup game, against Chelsea in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Liverpool are regular goalscorers on their travels. Liverpool's manager J. Klopp has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 6 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
