Team news for Watford v Liverpool, predicted lineup

Liverpool return to the Premier League action on Saturday. They will face Watford away (kick-off 12.30pm)

Team news

Liverpool

Jones, Elliott, Thiago have not recovered from injuries and are not in contention for Saturday.

Alisson and Fabinho are fit but unavailable. The Brazilians will fly directly to Spain to avoid a 10-day quarantine in the UK.

Trent and Jota are back in the squad after spending some time on the treatment table.

Firmino is expected to be available after recovering from an injury.

Watford

Joshua King is in doubt while Francisco Sierralta and Christian Kabasele are out with hamstring injuries.

Predicted Reds lineup

Klopp might want to keep Van Dijk fresh for the Atletico game, giving Joe Gomez or Ibou Konate a rare start.

Klopp will probably hand a chance to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain amid an injury crisis in the Liverpool midfield.

It's unlikely there would be massive changes in the forward line. Firmino is likely to start over Jota who has just recovered from a knock picked up on international duty,
