Watford have seen a bit more of the ball in the last couple of minutes, but they look fatigued and out of ideas when they look forward to the final third.

66'
D. Origi has scored a goal for Liverpool! Assist by A. Robertson.
ORIGI MAKES IT THREE! He comes inside from the left wing and Janmaat can't get anywhere near it. He hits his shot between three Watford defenders and catches out Foster at his near post. 3-0 Liverpool!
Robertson has a lot of time on the ball, but plays a simple, short pass to pick out Origi.
59'
There is no one anywhere near Origi as he runs onto the ball on the left wing, but he takes too long to put his cross into the box so Janmaat is able to put it out for a corner, which comes to nothing for Liverpool.
57'
Origi has two chances to have a shot on the edge of the box. His first effort is blocked by Mariappa, but it rebounds back to him and his second attempt is slightly closer. His second go is basically the same as the first and the defender is able to get in the way of it again.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League match between Liverpool and Watford at Anfield.
Liverpool start the day on top of the Premier League table and are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, but have only won one of those games (D4). Watford come into this game on a good run of form, having only lost one of their previous 11 games in all competitions (W6 D4).
LIVERPOOL STARTING XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold; James Milner, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum; Sadio Mane, Divock Origi, Mohamed Salah.
LIVERPOOL SUBS: Simon Mignolet, Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson, Daniel Sturridge, Xherdan Shaqiri, Rafael Camacho, Adam Lallana.
WATFORD STARTING XI (4-4-2): Ben Foster; Adam Masina, Craig Cathcart, Adrian Mariappa, Daryl Janmaat; Roberto Pereyra, Etienne Capoue, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Will Hughes; Troy Deeney, Gerard Deulofeu.
WATFORD SUBS: Heurelho Gomes, Marc Navarro, Andre Gray, Domingos Quina, Ken Sema, Christian Kabasele, Tom Cleverley.
The teams are out on the field now, with kick-off just moments away.
Gracia might need to think about making a change if they want to find a way back into this game. Watford struggled to deal with Liverpool's attacking threat in the first half and even when they did manage to move the ball upfield, they couldn't produce anything of quality to then trouble the Reds' defence. Klopp will be very happy with his side's performance so far though, and if the result stays as it is, then they will remain in top spot on the Premier League table.
That's all for tonight, goodbye!
Liverpool remain on top of the Premier League table with a one point advantage over Manchester City, who beat West Ham 1-0 tonight, as they turn their attention to the Merseyside derby on Sunday. Watford drop down to eighth after that defeat due to Wolves' superior goal difference and Gracia will be hoping his side can bounce back quickly and return to winning ways when they face Leicester City on Sunday.
