Match Preview

The race for the Premier League title is capturing the imagination at this stage of the campaign. Liverpool have passed up two recent chances to extend their advantage at the summit, having played out recent draws against Man United and Nottingham Forest. However, Arne Slot’s side still boasts a four-point advantage with a game in hand.

Brentford’s sticky run of form looks to have come to an end in recent rounds after picking up four points from their last two matches. Thomas Frank would have been delighted with his side’s character in a recent draw against Man City, as the Bees had to come back from two goals down to rescue a point.

However, the head-to-head stats favor the chances of an away win this weekend. Liverpool have lost just once in their last seven Premier League matches against Brentford, which includes victories in each of the last four since a 3-1 loss in January 2023.

The Reds have scored at least once in their seven meetings with the Bees, keeping four clean sheets across that period. Furthermore, Brentford have fallen to defeats in five of their last seven matches against teams starting the day at the top of the Premier League standings.

Liverpool’s record in the capital also deserves a lot of respect this season. The Reds are unbeaten in their seven trips to London, beating Tottenham and West Ham by an aggregate score of 11-3 in their last two matches.

Brentford’s recent home form also raises questions. After winning 22 points from their opening eight at the Gtech Community Stadium, the Bees have since won one point from their previous three.
