Premier League: How to watch Brentford vs Liverpool

The full report

Brentford are flying high in the Premier League as one of just three teams still to suffer defeat this season, although Keith Andrews surely wants his team to convert some of their draws into wins.

Liverpool, on the other hand, return to league action after last weekend's humbling home defeat to Manchester City. Andoni Iraola's side responded by putting six goals past Lask in the Champions League, but the Reds are lacking balance.

The last five meetings between Brentford and Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium have produced no fewer than 22 goals. The recent goalscoring form of both sides suggests the pattern could continue.

Only Arsenal and Manchester City have claimed more points at home than Brentford this season. Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have both been stung badly by the Bees whose threat in transition and potency from set pieces will be a problem for Liverpool this weekend.

Defensively, Liverpool remain as vulnerable as they were under Arne Slot last season. Iraola has struggled to find the right formula in the centre of the pitch with Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak all expected to miss Saturday's game through injury.

Ryan Gravenberch is also unavailable through suspension. Liverpool have conceded six goals in their last two games. Brentford will take encouragement from this, as well as the fact they won their last home meeting with the Merseyside outfit last October.
