Liverpool takes on Brentford at Anfield in this Premiership Matchday 21 encounter. The hosts are in third place with 42 points while the visitors are in 13th spot with 23 points. Liverpool had a disappointing 0-0 draw against 10 men Arsenal in the league Cup and the match highlighted how they miss their African strikers Mo Salah and Sadio Mane. This was the first time this season that they failed to score at Anfield. Liverpool are unbeaten at home this season and in the league their home record is six wins and three draws. Their challenge for the title has taken a knock after they failed to win in their last three matches with two draws and a loss. In both the drawn matches they led but couldn’t hold on for the win. This is the first time Liverpool are hosting Brentford since 1989 when they beat them in a FA Cup match.

Brentford are comfortable placed in mid table but will be looking for more consistency in their performance as a win is almost always followed by a loss. They are yet to win two successive league matches this season. Brentford have only two wins from their ten away matches this season. They have lost all five previous away matches against Liverpool with an aggregate of 12-1.Brentford have not kept a clean sheet in their last nine matches. They are hoping to rewrite the history books as only one newly promoted team has won at Anfield on their first visit amongst the last 17 promoted teams.
