How should Liverpool line up?Lovren’s injury means Joe Gomez will be given an opportunity at centre-back. Klopp must also consider continuing the rotation of the squad for this one by resting Robertson.Amid concerns of who could step in for Fabinho, Jordan Henderson has shown he is more than capable of doing just that. The captain has found his best form of the season and can hopefully enjoy a run of starts from now.The third game in a week means it’s time to rest Naby. The Guinean has hit form but Liverpool should not risk overplaying him. Oxlade-Chamberlain comes in alongside Wijnaldum and will be eager to get more minutes from centre-midfield.A dilemma here is whether Sadio Mane starts; he’s in fine form but has played a lot of games. Klopp may consider resting him for this game with Origi and Shaqiri both available to come in.It’s hard to look past a Liverpool win, given the current form, but the Reds will need to perform strongly to avoid an early kick-off upset. Changes to the side are recommended but the squad is strong enough to do so; Mane can be brought on from the bench if necessary.Now is the time for Klopp to amass an insurmountable lead at the peak of the Premier League table.Score prediction: Liverpool 3 – 0 WatfordBy Adam Brown – @AdamMNVi
