Premier League: Brentford vs Liverpool Live
Preview: Brentford vs Liverpool
Brentford vs Liverpool gives Klopp’s men the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday at 12:30pm. Liverpool recently reclaimed the top spot by defeating Burnley 3-1, while Brentford boosted their position by winning 2-0 against Wolves.
Brentford fans may be tired of facing Wolves so frequently in recent months, having suffered defeats in previous encounters. However, in their latest match, Brentford managed to secure a victory over Wolves with a goal from Christian Norgaard and Ivan Toney. The win has lifted the bees to 14th place in the table, although they are still not as strong as they used to be.
Despite a narrow gap from the relegation zone, the bees have a game in hand over most teams below them. The victory over Wolves was crucial for Brentford, as it ended a long streak without a clean sheet. Their next challenge is to improve their defensive record at home, where they have been conceding multiple goals in recent matches.
The Bees were unable to score in a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, who slightly hindered Liverpool’s chances of winning four trophies at the Emirates recently. However, Jurgen Klopp’s team responded to their 3-1 loss by defeating Burnley 3-1 in front of a record-breaking crowd at Anfield. Despite briefly falling to second place due to Manchester City’s win over Everton, the reds are now back on top, leading by two points. However, they have played one more game than City. Liverpool’s quest for Premier League supremacy is not yet secure, with most of their dropped points this season coming from away games. Nonetheless, Klopp’s attacking players have consistently scored in away matches this season.
Head-to-head
The reds have emerged victorious in three out of the most recent four encounters with Brentford. However, all of these wins were secured at Anfield. One notable victory was a 3-0 result in November of the previous year. When playing in Middlesex, Liverpool has struggled, with a record of two wins, two draws, and three losses in their last seven away matches against Brentford.
Prediction
The bees have lost the most points from winning positions in the Premier League this season with 26, while the reds has earned the most points after falling behind with 19. This suggests that Liverpool is likely to come back and win against the bees, even if Brentford scores first. Although Liverpool’s defense has been lacking recently, it is expected that they will secure a victory at the Gtech Community Stadium and strengthen their lead at the top of the table.
