Start Xherdan Shaqiri
Shaqiri has impressed in spells under Klopp this season.
However, the ex-Stoke man has struggled to get regular game time at Liverpool.
Klopp should start Shaqiri against Watford, who will likely sit back at Anfield and wait for the Reds to break them down.
Shaqiri’s vision could be key to the Reds earning a crucial three points to stay at the top of the Premier League.
Stop Gerard Deulofeu
Watford star Deulofeu netting a hat trick at Cardiff on Friday night, with the ex-Barcelona man in fine form.
Liverpool must stop the winger if they are to beat the Hornets at Anfield.
With Deulofeu likely to play on the right wing or as a No 10 behind Troy Deeney, the job will likely fall on Andrew Robertson or Virgil van Dijk to stop the Watford star.
Deulofeu’s pace will be key to Watford’s game plan of hitting the Reds on the counter attack on Wednesday evening.
