Mohamed Salah could fill his boots against Watford, and more success for Solskjaer: Premier League predictions

A look ahead to the action in England's top flight on Saturday, Sunday and Monday

Liverpool v Watford, Saturday, 4.30pm: Top v bottom, champions in waiting v Championship in waiting, 40 goals scored against 30 conceded. Watford have a new manager in Nigel Pearson. How generous of the club to appoint him just in time for a debut at Liverpool. I suppose they can't complain too much if Watford don't bag three points. AFP PREDICTION: Liverpool 3 Watford 0

Relentless Liverpool up against the bottom club in the Premier League; look away now, Watford fans.

Jurgen Klopp is leading Liverpool to their first title since 1990 and new Watford manager Nigel Pearson can hardly be expected to be the man to slow their progress.

Just one glimmer of hope for the Hornets; Watford were relegated in the 1999-2000 season with a paltry 24 points. They won one game away from home all season. The venue? Anfield.

Liverpool v Watford is first up this Premier League weekend, with a 4.30pm kick-off on Saturday. Closest pursuers Leicester take on Norwich at 7pm, with Chelsea against Bournemouth at the same time. The 9.30pm Saturday match is Southampton against West Ham.

Sunday sees three games, Manchester United v Everton at 6pm, the same time as Wolves v Tottenham. Then the later game is at 8.30pm with Arsenal hosting Manchester City.

This round of matches is completed on Monday at 11.45pm with Crystal Palace against Brighton, a bitter derby even though the clubs are 41 miles apart.
