Brentford are set to take on Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium for a Premier League match on Saturday.
Liverpool, currently sitting 3rd on the EPL table, aims for a way to break the domestic losing streak, while Brentford is aiming to get back-to-back wins after beating West Ham 2-0 away from home last week.
This game is important for both teams, especially for the Reds, who are still in the title contention.
Brentford vs Liverpool Match Preview
Brentford haven’t been impressive so far this season, despite recording a victory in their last Premier League match. The bees, under manager Keith Andrews, will be looking to pick up at least a point against the current EPL champions.
Liverpool came back to winning ways with a convincing 5-1 victory against Frankfurt midweek in the Champions League. Hugo Ekitike was on the score sheet against his former club, adding more excitement to the Liverpool fans.
Arne Slot will hope this performance is replicated in the Premier League when they travel to face Brentford. Nothing less than a victory is needed for the Merseyside outfit to close the gap between them and table leaders, Arsenal.
Brentford vs Liverpool head-to-head
Liverpool has had the edge over Brentford in recent games. Arne Slot men have won 7 of their last 10 meetings against the Bees (2D, 1L).
The last time Brentford won Liverpool at home was in 2023, and they have lost every single match from then till now.
Brentford vs Liverpool Team News
Keith Andrews has no new injury concerns and will want to maintain a similar lineup that beat West Ham in their last premier league match. The Bees will rely on their striker, Igor Tiago, who already has six goals so far, to trouble Liverpool’s defense.
For the Reds, there are doubts over the availability of Isak and Gravenberch R. after picking up minor injuries in midweek. This means Hugo Ekitike will once again lead the attack line for Slot’s team.
