An unbeaten Brentford will host Liverpool in an intriguing match in round seven of the English Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Bees are in fourth place with 10 points after playing out to a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa last weekend.
Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the new Premier League season last weekend, a humiliating 3-0 home loss to Manchester City.
Brentford have impressed under Keith Andrews, combining defensive organisation with a dangerous attacking game.
Their league form reads two wins and four draws, giving Andrews a solid foundation as he continues to develop his team.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are adjusting to life under Andoni Iraola and arrive after a dramatic 6–3 Champions League victory over LASK Linz.
Brentford have had nine different Premier League goalscorers this season, making them a tricky opponent for the visiting reds.
Here is our predicted outcome for the match.
The match kicks off at 5PM E.A.T at the Brentford Community Stadium
Both sides have a host of injury concerns ahead of the match with Nathan Collins, Kevin Schade and Mikel Damsgaard all absent for the hosts.
Dango Ouattara and Mathias Jensen are both fit and will provide a creative spark in the attack, as well as Keane Lewis-Potter.
Igor Thiago has not yet rediscovered his goal scoring exploits of last season, but he will retain his place at the head of the Brentford attack.
As for Liverpool, Ryan Gravenberch is suspended, while Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo have all been reported as fitness doubts.
Trey Nyoni and Victor Munoz are both set ot start for a third successive game, while Lewis Koumas will get the nod as well.
Florian Wirtz was on target in midweek and will be a key part of the Liverpool attack, as well as Bradley Barcola.
The reds have won three of the last five matches they have played against Brentford and one has resulted in a stalemate.
Brentford edged Liverpool 3-2 in a five-goal thriller the last time they hosted this fixture last October, while the most recent outing resulted in a 1-1 draw.
Brentford – DWDDD
Liverpool – WLWWD
Brentford are unbeaten in six league matches and have home advantage. Liverpool’s suspension and injury issues make the double-chance market worth considering instead of backing the visitors to win outright.
