The CBS Sports Soccer social media account on X, formerly Twitter, posted the clip of Watt taking a light-hearted shot at Carragher over his famous Scouse accent. The ex-Liverpool ace has a distinct tone when he speaks, making it both hard to understand and amusing at times. Ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash between the Reds and Watt's Burnley, the former NFL player had a bit of fun in the buildup to it all.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The former Houston Texans superstar will be filling in for Carragher this Saturday during CBS's pundit show, with Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry and Micah Richards - and he took a cheeky shot at the ex-Red ahead of their club's meeting.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">🚨 A Public Service Announcement from <a href="https://twitter.com/JJWatt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JJWatt</a> cc: <a href="https://twitter.com/Carra23?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Carra23</a> 🥲 <a href="https://t.co/7F41ADkaYE">pic.twitter.com/7F41ADkaYE</a>— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1755661336309067796?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 8, 2024</a></blockquote>

WATCH THE CLIP

Watt's role as the co-owner of the Clarets has seen him take his ambassadorial role incredibly seriously. The former Houston Texan has traveled to England on short notice, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/nfl-burnley-fc-jj-watt-the-royal-dyche-bar-west-ham/blteb998249cb78e339" target="_blank">has poured pints for fans at local pubs</a>, and has even gone on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/everybody-hates-var-nfl-legend-burnley-co-owner-jj-watt-premier-league-fix-trash-system/blt794622e74553c4f5" target="_blank">VAR rants</a> on social media over calls against his beloved club. The 34-year-old is now set to make a tv cameo on-air as his Clarets visit's Carragher's Reds in a Premier League clash at the weekend - with some fun banter already taking place in the buildup.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

First-place Liverpool hosts 19th-place Burnley on Saturday as Vincent Kompany and co. look to pull off a stupendous upset over the league leaders. Meanwhile, Watt will be looking to write down a few jokes to aim at the CBS pundit and ex-Liverpool midfielder ahead of the weekend.
