Brentford vs Liverpool Tips

Tip 1

Diogo Jota has been limited mostly to substitute appearances through ongoing injury problems this season, however, the Portuguese forward has netted five goals in 13 PL appearances, and eight in 19 across all competitions.

He boasts two in six starts and carries three in his last six despite not starting any of these fixtures.

Jota has a goal contribution in each of his last three vs Brentford, and remains the best finisher LFC can lean on outside of Mohamed Salah.

Tip 2

Liverpool have won the joint-most points from losing positions in the league this season, going level with City for this stat with 14 after Tuesday’s point against Forest.

The Bees have been leading in 14 2024/25 PL matches up to this point, but have gone on to lose on five occasions.

Brentford have scored in all but one of their 11 home games in the Premier League this term – netting twice against Newcastle, twice against Man City and once versus Arsenal.

Since Christmas, Liverpool have gone behind in four matches to Leicester, Man United, Tottenham and most recently Nottingham Forest earlier this week.

Brentford Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Bees’ strong home form continued on Tuesday night when they fought back against defending champions Manchester City to pull out a 2-2 draw from two goals down.

Thomas Frank has a number of injuries to contend with, as Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer, Josh Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago, Gustavo Nunes and Ryan Trevitt all remain sidelined.

Brentford Predicted XI: Flekken; Roerslev, Van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen; Mbeumo, Wissa, Damsgaard.

Liverpool Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Arne Slot’s side looked much the better side at the City Ground on Tuesday night, however, they found themselves 1-0 down after just eight minutes and will feel relieved to have come away from Nottingham with a point after Diogo Jota’s 66th-minute equaliser.

The Reds welcome back Darwin Nunez from suspension this weekend, with Joe Gomez, who is still at least a couple of weeks away from a return, the only absentee for the visitors.

Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Jota.
