Brentford are on to their toughest topflight game yet, when they host Liverpool as the Premier League enters Round 6. While Liverpool are joint top with 13 points, Brentford are ninth with eight points. Brentford are coming from a huge win – a 7-0 victory over Oldham Athletic in the League Cup and so far they are enjoying their season. Going to this game they have one loss only in the seven matches played this season and they’ve failed to score in just two. Brentford have four clean sheets in the seven matches and here their defensive solidity will be massively tested. In their last league game, Brentford managed a 2-0 win over Wolves but they have Shandon Baptiste sent off and will be suspended for this. Their only loss this season, against Brighton, came at home and they’ll hope to avoid a second as the two teams meet for the first time since 1947.

Liverpool are in a class of their own; they head to this game on four straight wins, and having scored three goals in each of their last four matches. They are coming from a 3-0 win over Norwich in the League Cup, their third clean sheet in four matches and they remain unbeaten so far, in seven matches. Of the seven matches, Liverpool have had six wins, and they go to this game without a loss in 15 league matches. Up to this stage of the season, Liverpool have the joint best defence in the league, having conceded just one goal, and that came against European champions, Chelsea. At home, Liverpool are unbeaten in seven league games – they have five wins in those seven.
