Third-running squad Liverpool FC (7-1-2, 23 points) will take on the challenge of middling team Watford FC (4-3-3, 15 points) as they meet each other in a 2016-2017 Premier League season game on Nov. 6, Sunday at the Anfield.

Start Time and Streaming Info

The game starts at 9:15 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.

Liverpool is currently on an eight-game unbeaten streak after their 0-2 loss to newly-promoted side Burnley in the second round of English top flight competitions back in August. The team won two consecutive games since their goalless draw with Manchester United last month.

The Reds defeated lowly team Crystal Palace, 4-2, in their most recent game last Saturday held at the Selhurst Park, as per Metro.

Emre Can broke the game's deadlock in the 16th but was immediately responded to by James McArthur, who scored his first goal of the match in the 18th minute.

Dejan Lovren then grabbed the lead back for head coach Jürgen Klopp's side three minutes later only to be equalized again by McArthur in the 33rd.

Joel Matip made it a 3-2 game for Liverpool with only a minute left before the halftime break while striker Roberto Firmino sealed the win for the visitors in the 71st, completing his team's four-goal haul.

Meanwhile, Watford nipped Hull City, 1-0, at their home ground of Vicarage Road also last Saturday for the team's fourth consecutive unbeaten performance, SkySports reported.

After a goalless first half of play, an own goal from Hull City captain Michael Dawson in the 82nd minute spelled doom for the Tigers and gave head coach Walter Mazzarri's team their fourth win this season.

The Hornets alternated drawing and winning games in the last four rounds to move up to the seventh spot in the overall standings. The team is currently tied on points with struggling powerhouse Manchester United but has the superior goals-made than the Red Devils.

Prediction and Predicted Lineup

The predicted result is a 2-0 win for Liverpool.

Liverpool starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Karius; Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Moreno; Lallana, Henderson, Can; Mane, Firmino, Coutinho

Watford starting lineup (3-5-2 formation): Gomes; Prödl, Kaboul, Britos; Amrabat, Pereyra, Behrami, Capoue, Holebas; Ighalo, Deeney
