Brentford v Liverpool

Brentford vs Liverpool Preview

Brentford gained a creditable point in their midweek clash against Manchester City in the Premier League when The Bees held their opponents to an eventful and high-scoring 2-2 draw at their Gtech Community Stadium which lifted the London club up into a mid-table position of 10th place.

Liverpool were also involved in a draw in midweek in the English top flight after being held to a 1-1 stalemate at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest but nevertheless, The Reds still hold a six-point cushion over second placed Forest at the time of writing.

Brentford have now picked up four points from their last two games in the Premier League thanks to a resounding 5-0 victory down on the south coast at the basement club Southampton and then followed up that comprehensive win with a solid point against Manchester City.

The Bees will therefore be in confident mood as they prepare for the visit of the league leaders Liverpool on Saturday afternoon although it should be noted that Brentford have actually picked up just the single win from their last six games overall, that being the aforementioned win at Southampton.

However, three defeats within their previous six games have seen Brentford slip to losses at the hands of Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Arsenal respectively, so Thomas Frank's side will be facing a tough assignment here.

Liverpool's current six-point lead over second placed Nottingham Forest may be reduced if Arsenal beat Tottenham in the north London derby in midweek but The Reds will be feeling confident about returning to winning ways in the nation's capital against a Brentford side who have captured just one win in six games.

Following their sole defeat so far this season at home to Nottingham Forest back in mid-September, Liverpool have since strung together a solid and impressive 16-match unbeaten sequence in the Premier League which has earned Arne Slot's side top spot in the table.

The merseyside visitors also remain unbeaten away from home so far in this season's Premier League campaign as The Reds have picked up seven wins along with three draws in their 10 outings on the road to date, so confidence will be high in terms of collecting all three points here.

The bigger picture shows Liverpool have suffered just the two defeats within their last 25 away games in the English top flight and this sort of form surely places Liverpool in a superior position ahead of this upcoming encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
