Preview: Liverpool vs. Watford

The Europa League final may be Liverpool’s focus, and Jürgen Klopp has confirmed the intensity of Thursday’s semi-final against Villarreal will influence his selection against Watford, but cup final places and the desire to finish higher than eighth should provide sufficient motivation at Anfield. Klopp cites the 3-0 defeat at Vicarage Road as one of the worst displays of his Liverpool tenure and will not want his players bullied again by Quique Sánchez Flores’s team. Andy Hunter
