Defending champions Liverpool face a tricky trip to Brentford on Saturday evening (8pm kick-off), with Arne Slot’s men looking to bounce back from three Premier League defeats in a row.
Four consecutive losses in all competitions was brought to a halt on Wednesday evening, after an emphatic 5-1 Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
The Reds face a Bees team that have moved up to 13th after two wins in their last three league games, including a 2-0 victory over West Ham on Monday.
Liverpool, though, have won on their last two visits to the Gtech Community Stadium and will now be aiming to follow up their impressive victory in Germany.

Three of the last four meetings between the two sides at the Gtech Community Stadium have seen both teams on the scoresheet.
It’s also worth noting that both teams have scored in each of Liverpool’s last four Premier League fixtures, while five of Brentford’s eight league matches this season have seen both sides find the net.

With Alexander Isak almost certainly set to miss out on Saturday having suffered a groin problem, Hugo Ekitike looks likely to start for the champions.
The Frenchman has been Liverpool’s most impressive summer signing to date and grabbed a goal against his former club Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday.
Ekitike is Liverpool’s joint-top league scorer this season, alongside Cody Gakpo, with three goals to his name so far.
Two big plus points for Keith Andrews has been the form of his wide players – Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade – this season.
Both are blessed with blistering pace and a real desire to run at their markers, which could mean a tough evening for Connor Bradley, who’s already been booked three times this season.

Cody Gakpo has been arguably Liverpool’s best player so far this season and goes into this game having scored in his last three games.
The Dutchman scored the final goal in a 4-1 win at Brentford in February 2024 and goes in search of a fourth Premier League goal of the campaign on Saturday.
