Liverpool return to action in the Premier League on Wednesday night with Jurgen Klopp's side playing host to Watford.

The Merseyside giants hold a one-point lead at the top of the standings as a result of their goalless draw at Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.

However, Liverpool have recorded just one win from their last five outings in all competitions, and they are likely to face a stern test against the in-form Hornets.

Ahead of this week's meeting, Sports Mole assesses how Sadio Mane has fared in his previous games against the Hertfordshire-based team.

Sadio Mane has squared off against Watford on six occasions, and the winger has contributed to four wins and two draws in the Premier League.

The Senegal international helped Southampton to four points during the 2015-16 campaign, but he first netted a goal against Watford when contributing a double in Liverpool's 6-1 success during the following season.

A further strike came at the start of 2017-18, while two assists were provided when Liverpool registered a 5-0 triumph in March 2018.

Mane also set up a goal as Liverpool prevailed by a 3-0 scoreline in the reverse fixture at Vicarage Road earlier this season.
