# Liverpool: Fans fume at Jon Moss’ appointment for Watford game

**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](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2282517) \[via [Anfield Watch](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1447603786747367432?s=20) on Twitter\] 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-moss/profil/schiedsrichter/677/plus/0?funktion=1&saison_id=2020&wettbewerb_id=GB1) 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-moss/bilanzdetail/schiedsrichter/677/saison_id/0/heim_gast//verein_id/31/wettbewerb_id//funktion/1/plus/0) when he has been in charge (including a 3-0 win at Vicarage Road in 2018), but he did give [two penalties](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42849447) (one of which was very contentious) against the Reds when they drew 2-2 against Tottenham in the 2017/18 season.
