Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren explains why the Reds hold an advantage over Watford ahead of their Premier League encounter on Monday night.

Liverpool will be travelling to Vicarage Road to square off against Watford on Monday night and the match can be viewed as a must-win for the Reds in their hopes of finishing in the top four this season.

Watford, on the other hand, do not have much to play for the rest of the season and Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren believes that this could play in the hands of the Reds when they square off against the Hornets on Monday.

Lovren said: "We have something to play for, but not so much them. For them, it is comfortable and they are safe, but we have something to reach for and this is the key point."

"We know what we need to do to grab a place in the Champions League. It is a must-win game. Of course, it will be difficult – they are in the middle of the table, have done quite well, have good players and don't have pressure."

"But sometimes with pressure it can maybe be better to play because you're more focused on the game."
