The Meaning Of Over And Under Bets

3y ago

Just 12 points from claiming the title, Jurgen Klopp’s charges would set a new Premier League record for consecutive victories should they chalk up a 19^th in a row this weekend. However, they will be taking on a Watford side that ran them close in the reverse fixture at Anfield this weekend.

The visitors are on course to obliterate every record across the top five European leagues, and as of now, they are just four wins away from seeing their three-decade long dream for a Premier League trophy come true.

On top of that, they are taking on a 19^th-placed Watford side this Saturday. By all means, expect a comfortable victory for Liverpool in this fixture. They should not even have to break a sweat to post the three points on the board.

Watford vs Liverpool Team News

Twelve points is all Liverpool need to finally put their league title ghost to bed as they head into another week with another record available for their relentless and remarkable team.

When Manchester City went a full half-season without dropping a single point in 2017-18 it was suggested that such a feat would never be repeated, yet Liverpool got to within one of the record earlier this season before subsequently winning each of their last 18 games to match Pep Guardiola 's centurions.

Klopp's class of 2019-20 have perhaps not done it in such spectacular fashion, but should they claim a 19th successive win as expected this weekend then it would be another piece of evidence in the growing argument that this is one of the greatest teams English football has ever seen.

Liverpool have dropped just 10 points from an available 132 and have taken a staggering 106 from the last 108 on offer, which is an unprecedented run of form leaving them on course to gain a scarcely-believable tally of 112 points this season alone.

The narrow margin by which Liverpool have won many of their games this season has helped to stave off the threat of complacency, though, and they know just how tricky a proposition Watford can be after the reverse tie at Anfield in December.

The Hornets were rock-bottom with only nine points and one win from 16 games when they travelled to Merseyside for what was Nigel Pearson 's first game in charge and, while they ultimately lost 2-0, they arguably deserved a point having spurned a couple of golden chances to snatch something from the game against all the odds.

Watford's improved performance was soon reflected in their results, though, with that Liverpool loss proving to be their only defeat in Pearson's first eight games at the helm across all competitions - a run of form which briefly lifted them out of the relegation zone.

However, that honeymoon period is now well and truly over and Watford welcome the champions-elect having lost four of their last five games across all competitions, including defeats to Liverpool's Merseyside neighbours Tranmere Rovers and Everton.

Indeed, the Hornets are the joint-lowest scorers in the Premier League this season and come up against the league's best defence, which has kept 10 clean sheets in their last 12 top-flight matches.

Watford vs Liverpool Predictions

Watford put up a decent fight when in poor form during the reverse fixture, but that can perhaps be put down to a new manager bounce which has since deserted them. Liverpool may not have things all their own way, but with a 19th successive Premier League win on the horizon it is impossible to back against Klopp's relentless side.
