A number of Liverpool supporters have reacted negatively to the news that Jon Moss will take charge of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Watford.
The Reds return to action this weekend following the latest international break. Jurgen Klopp’s men make the trip to Vicarage Road to take on a Hornets side who once again have a new manager, with former Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri now in charge.

It has been confirmed [via Anfield Watch on Twitter] that Moss will referee the contest as Liverpool look to avoid any officiating controversy, hopefully picking up a convincing win at the same time.
This is the first Reds game he has refereed this season, but they did at least win all three that he took charge of in the league in 2020/21, away to Crystal Palace, West Ham and Sheffield United.
Liverpool actually have an excellent record under Moss, winning their last nine matches when he has been in charge (including a 3-0 win at Vicarage Road in 2018), but he did give two penalties (one of which was very contentious) against the Reds when they drew 2-2 against Tottenham in the 2017/18 season.
