Liverpool v Brentford

Liverpool vs Brentford Preview

Liverpool opened their account in last week's season opener away from home at newcomers Ipswich Town as The Reds recorded a 2-0 win on the road at Portman Road to hand new Reds manager Arne Slot the perfect start to his new tenure at the merseyside club, while Brentford also picked up a win in their opening game by virtue of a 2-1 home win against Crystal Palace.

The win away from home in Suffolk last weekend also extended Liverpool's unbeaten sequence in the Premier League to five games overall which included wins towards the end of the last campaign against Tottenham and Wolves along with points gained in draws with West Ham and Aston Villa.

The bigger picture shows Liverpool have suffered just two defeats in their last 16 league matches in the English top flight but The Reds usher in a new era at Anfield as Arne Slot has replaced former boss Jurgen Klopp and time will tell if the Dutchman can inspire his new side onto even greater things.

Liverpool possess an excellent record at Anfield in the Premier League though which has seen the hosts slip to just one loss in their last 31 home games along with keeping a total of 12 clean sheets in the process as well.

Brentford picked up all three points last weekend in their season opening fixture against Crystal Palace to hand The Bees a positive start to this new campaign but the London club now face a tough assignment in this upcoming clash on merseyside on Sunday afternoon.

The visitors finished last season in 16th place in the Premier League table but they did possess a 13-point cushion over third from bottom club Luton Town so manager Thomas Frank will have been fairly satisfied with this considering Brentford were without the services of their star striker Ivan Toney who was suspended for the first half of last season.

Despite being handed a string of defeats from mid-February through to mid-March which saw The Bees succumb to losses at the hands of Liverpool, Manchester City, West Ham, Arsenal and Burnley, Brentford managed to turn their season around by losing just a further two games in their subsequent nine games of last season.

Victories against Sheffield United, Luton Town and Bournemouth helped Brentford avoid any last minute dramas and being involved in a relegation battle towards the bottom of the Premier League table.

Liverpool v Brentford Verdict

Liverpool look well placed to pick up another three points this Sunday against Brentford as The Reds have won each of the last three meetings on the trot against The Bees, two of which also resulted in Liverpool keeping clean sheets as well, so a home win and a clean sheet look to be on the cards here.
