Liverpool stars smiling under the pressure as they arrive at Anfield for Watford clash

Liverpool’s players are already at Anfield and don’t appear to be feeling the weight of expectation ahead of their huge clash with Watford on Wednesday night.

Jurgen Klopp, Mohamed Salah, Alisson and defender Virgil van Dijk were all smiles as they pulled their cars into the car park, more than seven hours ahead of kick-off.

Salah and Klopp both dragged their suitcases into the stadium, while Alisson carried a smaller wash-bag and captain Jordan Henderson shook hands with fans.

There did not appear to be any nerves on the faces of the players, as they look to keep their place at the top of the Premier League with Manchester City breathing down their necks. 

Watford are the opponents for the Reds on Wednesday night, while Manchester City host West Ham 35 miles down the M62.

As it stands, Liverpool sit atop the table by a single point, but Pep Guardiola’s City have won three on the spin and will be keen to regain their place at the top.
