There are many factors that have contributed to Liverpool’s history making rise and unprecedented run. It feels like every week, new records are falling and another milestone is achieved. Can they be stopped from matching Arsenal’s Invincibles and 19th century Preston with an undefeated season?
Maybe not, but the next side to give it a try is Watford, who are the top flight’s penultimate side. So hey, good luck with that on Saturday! The Reds will be without team skipper Jordan Henderson in this one, but manager Jurgen Klopp shouldn’t be too worried. They still have plenty of firepower to work with.
Here’s what we’re going with in regards to what first team we’re believing the German might select.
