Premier League champions Liverpool face a tough away trip to Brentford as they look to get back to winning ways.
The Reds have suffered a slight dip in form after drawing their last two Premier League games against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest as well as losing to Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-finals.
It could be another tough game for Arne Slot’s men, with the Bees boasting a strong home record with seven of their eight Premier League wins this season coming at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Having also come from two behind and a draw with Manchester City in midweek, the Reds know they will have to be at their best.
