That was excellent from Sturridge - who had a lot to do when he picked the ball up about 30 yards out. It was a superb strike and an equally good save.

That is superb stuff! Daniel Sturridge shows once again what he's all about, drifting past tired defenders with absolute ease, it all opens up for him and he's one on one - Heurelho Gomes gets a big hand on his shot but it's drifting in, it's going in, it goes wide!
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
Liverpool are moving on to 69 points as it stands, four points clear of fifth-paced Manchester United who would have a game in hand. It's going to go to the wire.
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
What's he doing up there?! Joel Matip in the centre-forward position and he forces Heurelho Gomes into another save at his near post.
Liverpool will not rush this corner.

It really hasn't been a very good game.

The Watford onslaught has yet to materialise.

Johnny Magrinho: It is incredible how Liverpool are third. Our squad is threadbare at best & we've barely spent anything. Massive achievement.

Adam Lallana is goosed, no surprise there. He's also now off, as Liverpool send on an extra defender in Ragnar Klavan. AWAY!
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
Waste. Liverpool have a free-kick to defend but Watford go offside. That's a frustrating error.

You see Klopp on the sidelines and you wonder how many players are listening? When he is shouting and shouting, after a while as a player you just switch off.
For Liverpool at this stage of the season, it doesn't really matter how they play - it is all about results.
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
Daniel Sturridge is on for the final few minutes, replacing Divock Origi, as Watford send on Stefano Okaka. Hit the big man!

Liverpool are looking a touch edgy and shakey at the back. James Milner shanks a clearance and Simon Mignolet makes hard work of a Daryl Janmaat shot.
If Watford really go for this they may get their rewards...
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
Isaac Success does beat his man and puts in a fine cross but Joel Matip clears with authority. Simon Mignolet then comes and claims with similar authority. A new man?

Watford need to try to lift their game - nothing seems to be coming off for them and their final pass has been quite woeful really.
They need to give the ball to Success and give him the opportunity to isolate and take on Clyne.
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
Into the final 10 minutes. About the point that this man might have been hoping to get on. As it is he's already done 70 minutes' graft.
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
What are the rules here?! Watford head the ball out, it hits referee Craig Pawson and stays in play but a throw-in is given anyway. Think that should have been play on.
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
Walter Mazzarri and Jurgen Klopp are enjoying themselves anyway.
As that Liverpool counter was unfolding Mazzarri was pounding on the dugout in frustration. A fit Adam Lallana would probably score.
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
Chance to seal it! Liverpool break from the Watford corner, Nathaniel Clyne whips over a peach of an early cross and Adam Lallana is in on goal.
One good, solid touch and it's 2-0. But it's a tired, rusty touch from the man just back from injury and he's tackled instead.
Big moment.
Watford 0-1 Liverpool
The crowd are back with us now too, plenty of noise. It's the players' responsibility to give you something to sing about, and the hosts have done that now. Liverpool are in for a testing last 15-20 minutes...
