Adam Bogdan endured a nightmare league debut for Liverpool, never able to settle after gifting Nathan Ake Watford&rsquo;s early opening goal.
Ighalo&rsquo;s brace pushed his tally to 12 goals in 17 appearances this term, partner Deeney claiming a hand in both strikes as Watford beat Liverpool at home for the first time since 1986.
Leicester top the table Quique Sanchez Flores&rsquo; flourishing 4-4-2 leaves Watford just one point shy of the top four. Claudio Ranieri&rsquo;s Leicester sit top of the table at Christmas thanks to the very same and humblest of old school English tactics.
Liverpool slipped to four games without a win, paying the price for starting without a recognised striker despite boasting Divock Origi and Christian Benteke on the bench.
Manager Jurgen Klopp has a sizeable job on his hands to resolve Liverpool&rsquo;s extensive defensive shortcomings, with the Anfield men languishing in mid-table. Hungary stopper Bogdan was drafted in at the expense of Simon Mignolet, who Liverpool said had a tight hamstring.
