Brentford have had an unbeaten start, and while I thought they were a bit lucky to get a draw at Aston Villa last week, they have plenty of momentum.
Liverpool got a big win on their travels in the Champions League against LASK on Wednesday but there are two ways to look at that result.
On one hand, they looked good going forward and it was great for Bradley Barcola to open his account with a hat-trick.
But, at the same time, they conceded three goals and they still have that vulnerability about them at the back.
If the Reds empty the midfield again in this game then they are going to be in trouble, because Brentford are quite direct and will keep looking to run in behind the Liverpool defence.
The sceptics will say Barcola needs to start delivering in the Premier League too, and Florian Wirtz has been taking a bit of a battering for his performances.
The question I asked on the Monday Night Club was: 'what kind of player actually is he?'
They have paid so much money for him but is he a dribbler? No. He's not the kind of player to shoot and score from the edge of the box either.
He has got an intelligent football brain but Liverpool wanted more than that. When you spend so much on a player, you want some numbers from him.
This is a tricky game for Liverpool, and I don't think they will win it. They definitely won't keep a clean sheet, either.
