Watford

Watford's Will Hughes speaking to BT Sport: "We have said that a number of times this season. We have to score the chances we create and we did not today. We had our chances and if you don't put them away, then Liverpool will punish you. You have to make it scrappy against them otherwise you will lose."

Watford

Watford manager Nigel Pearson speaking to Match of the Day: "I have already said to the players that our destiny is in our own hands. The creativity and intensity will serve us well. People don’t expect us to come here and win. We needed to be disciplined but you cannot come here and soak up pressure for 90 minutes. We created some excellent chances and unfortunately today we could not make the most of them. I have been pleased with the players application but we cannot have one week good and the next week bad. We need some form of consistency."

Watford

Watford manager Nigel Pearson speaking to BT Sport: "It’s always hard to come to places like this. There is a bit of risk and reward. We knew we would have to absorb pressure. The disappointment was their goal came from our set piece an that is something we need to address. I think we put them under strain and caused them problems but they have unbelievable players. We need to reflect on the performance and that going forwards will serve is well in the fight. I have seen more positives than negatives today. We have to make things happen and hopefully people have seen encouragement today."

On the missed chances: "At least we are there having chances. I would be more concerned if we have created nothing. We had some really good chances, the misses come down to confidence. You have to work your way through why we are where we are. Our home form has to be addressed. Every game we play we have to show commitment."

Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to the Liverpool side who recorded a 2-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League on Tuesday.

There is also a recall for Xherdan Shaqiri, who replaces Naby Keita in midfield. Young Neco Williams, 18, makes the bench.

There's a buzz around Anfield because of the news coming out of Liverpool yesterday that manager Jurgen Klopp had signed a new four-and-a-half year deal. That announcement was followed by midfielder James Milner extending his stay. It's been some week for the Premier League leaders, who also booked their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 2-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday. Victory here today would really cap it off.

Watford's Ismaila Sarr says his Senegal team-mate Sadio Mane has helped him settle in to life in England after a difficult start.

New Watford manager Nigel Pearson says they will need a "collective buy-in from everybody" to stay in the Premier League.
