Will Hughes was linked with Liverpool for five successive years from 2012 to 2016, though no move ever materialised for the England Under-21 midfielder.
It was only this summer that Hughes finally left Derby County – for Watford in an £8million deal – and he is now set for his Premier League debut against Jurgen Klopp's side.
The constant connection between Hughes and Liverpool could be down to the fact that he is a lifelong Reds fan, and he admits it turned his head on occasion.
On Saturday, however, the 22-year-old's loyalties will lie with Watford at Vicarage Road.
