Photo gallery: Watford preparations underway at Melwood

Liverpool’s squad went through their paces at Melwood on Thursday as they prepare for action this weekend.

Following the conclusion of the November international break, all of the Reds’ key players were back on Merseyside.

Liverpool face Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday as they begin a run of 11 games in 40 days during the festive period.

Jurgen Klopp has all his players fit - with the exception of long-term absentee Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - which bodes well for the squad during the upcoming busy spell.

However, all focus remains on Saturday’s fixture as they look to keep up with trailblazers Manchester City, who are two points ahead of Klopp’s side.
