In the EPL, Liverpool got the better of Arsenal last time and look to continue the same form against a lacklustre and under-confident Watford side.
The Reds are 2nd in the league table and could temporarily get to the top with another three points.
On the other hand, Watford beat Southampton in their previous Premier League clash in mid-March, bringing an end to their 4-match winless run.
Hernandez scored twice for the Hornets to help them jump to 18th in the table, leaving them a point away from getting out of the relegation zone.
Watford need a run of good results to stay out of the dreaded zone, hopeful to play EPL football next season.
Both sides last met in the EPL in October, where Liverpool trounced Watford 5-0 away from home.

Liverpool possible 11:
Becker, Gomez, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Mané and Diaz
Watford possible 11:
Foster, Kamara, Samir, Kabasele, Kiko, Kucka, Louza, Sissoko, Dennis, Pedro and Hernández
Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Watford
We fancy a comfortable win for Klopp’s men as they are the in-form side and thirsty for success. The Reds are in scintillating form and will be a hard nut to crack for the visitors.
Watford could be rusty as they are playing after more than 2 weeks.
Players to watch out for: Salah, Diaz, Hernández and Sissoko.
