Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Watford and Liverpool at a wet Vicarage Road. With fellow top-four contenders Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal all dropping points, Sunday couldn't have gone any better for the Reds - but can they capitalise? Their form against teams in the bottom half of the table suggests not, but Watford were rank bad in their last game - a 2-0 defeat to 10-man Hull. Let's wait and see the outcome, eh? Kick-off is at 20:00.

    45'+3
    GOAL - A stunning goal from Can breaks the deadlock and Liverpool are ahead!
    Lucas lifts a cross into the penalty area where Can takes off and rifles in a goal with a ridiculous bicycle-kick. Gomes has no chance of saving that.

    YELLOW CARD: An embarrassing dive from Lucas is punished as Craig Pawson issues his first booking of the game - and rightly so.

    CROSSBAR! Agonisingly close from Lallana who rifles a dipping first-time half-volley from 25 yards straight against the woodwork with Gomes beaten. The moment of the match, but still no breakthrough for the Reds.
    38'
    PENALTY SHOUT! Deeney goes over inside the Liverpool penalty area after a slight nudge from Lovren but he's never getting a penalty for that.
    37'
    Don't panic just yet, football enthusiasts.
    No team has scored more Premier League goals this season in the 15 minutes before half-time than Liverpool.
    36'
    On the pitch, meanwhile, and Liverpool win a free-kick but Milner's cross has too much zip on it and Gomes can punch it clear.
    35'
    'Liverpool, Liverpool' is the chant from the visiting supporters. 'We forgot that you were here' is the original response from the home fans.
    34'
    For once this season, Liverpool deal comfortably with the set-piece.
    33'
    Tenacious work from Niang as he twists and turns in a wide area but can't get his cross in. He does however win a corner for Watford.
    31'
    A pocket of space opens up for Lallana just outside the penalty area and he spots the run of Origi ahead of him but doesn't put enough pace on the pass and Watford intercept.

    The loss of Coutinho certainly hasn't helped Liverpool. They've had one shot on target in 30 minutes and the visitors are really struggling to create any kind of opening at the moment.
    27'
    Here's proof of that earlier Can effort. It's as close as we've come to a goal in a thoroughly boring opening.
    26'
    Milner curls the free-kick into the Watford area but the hosts deal with it comfortably.
    25'
    Clyne goes down rather easily under a challenge from Cleverley and after a moment's consideration the referee awards Liverpool a free-kick which is in a wide area. The Watford midfielder is not one bit happy with that decision.
    23'
    That half chance aside, Watford have looked very comfortable. Liverpool are struggling to get into any sort of rhythm.
    21'
    GOOD SAVE! A decent effort from Can from all of 25 yards forces Gomes into his first action of the net as he parries the ball away.
    20'
    Milner to Lallana and back to Milner who puts too much on his cross from the by-line and Waford survive.
