Shamoon and Gary have joined me for the 3pm games now.
I reckon Gary is getting all the goals. Early shout.

Here we go.
Liverpool are two points above Manchester City, who take on Burnley in just over half an hour.
It's getting very tasty!

Tonyonduli: It was always going to be a tough game after the international break against a team with 3 weeks to prepare. But Liverpool are on a role and it seems April and May could mark an exceptional season! Quadruple, why not dream big!

Andy Reid
Ex-Republic of Ireland midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt gets a bit tetchy at this stage of the season, the fans need something to cheer about.
Liverpool didn’t really give them that this afternoon.
They created some half-chances but they were fortunate they didn’t concede.
They’ve got the job done and Jurgen Klopp won’t to be bothered about anything else other than the three points.

Mark Doughty: How does that get given when it's nowhere near the ball?? If Diogo Jota has a chance of getting his head on it then yeah, but it's the other side of the box! Every week we see fouls like that not given when the player clearly can get his head on it.

Liverpool 2-0 Watford
Diogo Jota pokes it through to Sadio Mane and he's inches away from taking it around Ben Foster.
The Watford keeper does very well to race off his line and reaches for the ball to gobble it in.

Leeds Rhinos could do with a guy who can tackle like that right now.

Andy Reid
Ex-Republic of Ireland midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveMore of these penalties need to be given. I think it makes a mockery of defending properly.
If you give more of these penalties then you get it out of the game.

GoonerThoughts: Juraj Kucka has been unbelievably poor in the last 5-10 minutes, both defensively and in possession. Unfair on Watford, as the rest of the team have played well.
GOAL - Liverpool 2-0 Watfordpublished at 14:17 British Summer Time 2 April 2022
Fabinho (88 mins)
Smashed it.
Fabinho steps up to take the penalty with Mohamed Salah already off and he absolutely smashes it into the top left corner.
Liverpool are going to be top of the table for at least a few hours.

We've stopped here because there's a VAR check...
Diogo Jota was being held back by Juraj Kucka as Liverpool's corner came in.
The referee has now been sent to look at the pitchside monitor!

Liverpool 1-0 Watford
Ooof, getting a bit desperate from Watford now. Thiago's shot is blocked, it pops up in the six-yard area and isn't properly headed away before Sadio Mane steadies himself for an overhead kick. It's finally hoofed away.

Roberto Firmino is teed up on the edge of the box but he takes too long to get a shot off and it's blocked by a combination of Watford defenders. A corner follows...

Leeds v Southampton (15:00 BST)

BBC Sport at Elland Road
Image source, BBC SportThis is the Old Peacock pub on Elland Road, renamed for the remainder of this season in honour of Marcelo Bielsa, who was sacked by Leeds in February after having led them back to the Premier League and secured a ninth-place finish in their first season back in 16 years. It was his decency and integrity that endeared him to Whites fans as much as the football he inspired his team to play.
But football is an unforgiving thing and while many of the fans are still struggling to, the club have moved on. Jesse Marsch is in charge now and looks to be doing the job the Leeds owners required. Two nerve-wrecking injury-time wins from their last two games - including the stunning comeback from 2-0 down at Wolves in their last game - has given them a fighting chance of avoiding the dreaded drop.
With some of the daunting fixtures their main rivals face this weekend, another win here could be huge for Marsch and his men.

Juraj Kucka sneaks in to take it off Thiago but the move breaks down. Liverpool go up the other end through Diogo Jota but he slips.
Getting a bit open now...

Time massively running out for Watford now. 10 minutes to go. Jurgen Klopp still isn't comfortable though.
He's barking instructions and Anfield is very quiet. You can sense the nerves. Liverpool's lead is slim.
