Watford's exciting, direct style of football made them runners-up to Liverpool on their arrival in the Canon League First Division in the 1982/3 season. With Liverpool's polish and Watford's constant effort, the fixtures between these two clubs have usually led to plenty of goals, with Liverpool so far having the edge. With the top of the table now sorting itself out, Liverpool need a good result at Vicarage Road today to maintain their thrust for the Championship.
