Match Preview
Liverpool made an impressive start to the new season last Saturday after claiming a professional 2-0 win at Ipswich. Slot would have been delighted by his attacking players in that success, with Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota both finding the net. However, this could be a more testing assignment at Anfield this weekend, as Brentford come into the fixture after a hard-fought 2-1 win against Crystal Palace.
Liverpool could be hard to overlook based on the previous meetings between the sides. The Reds have won each of their last five home matches against the Bees without conceding, with that sequence stretching back to 1939. Brentford have also won just once in their six Premier League clashes with Liverpool.

Slot will have a powerful Liverpool home record to concede this weekend, as the Reds have lost just twice in their last 61 matches at Anfield. Meanwhile, they haven’t lost a home match in the opening month of the season since 2015. But, the Reds will be aiming to start the season with successive wins for the first time since 2021-22.
The Bees do boast an impressive recent record in the Premier League, which is worth considering before making picks this weekend. Brentford have won four of their last seven in the competition, which is as many wins as they had recorded in their 21 matches prior combined.
Liverpool vs Brentford Picks
Brentford have the attacking players to pose questions of Liverpool this weekend. However, we fully expect the Reds to come through this test with flying colors on Sunday.
