Liverpool travelled to Brentford on Saturday afternoon with the ambition of increasing the gap at the top of the Premier League to seven points from second-placed Arsenal.

The Reds have made an incredible start to life under Arne Slot with results during the first half of the 2024/25 campaign putting the Dutch coach’s team in a great position to win the title in 2025.

Ahead of their trip to the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, Liverpool’s form has dipped slightly with the Merseyside club winning just one of their last four matches, with back-to-back draws in the Premier League.

Brentford’s home record made the match a tough one for Liverpool on paper as the Bees are the third-best team in the Premier League when competing in front of their fans.
