Brentford vs Liverpool: Premier League preview, team news, stats & head-to-head
Brentford have won just one of their seven Premier League meetings with Liverpool (D1 L5), losing the last four in a row since a 3-1 win in January 2023.
Liverpool have scored in all seven of their Premier League meetings with Brentford (17 goals in total), while also keeping four clean sheets in these games.
Brentford have lost five of their seven Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table, with both exceptions coming in 2023 (1-1 v Arsenal in February, 1-0 v Man City in May).
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League away games against London sides (W5 D2), beating Tottenham 6-3 and West Ham 5-0 in their last two. In English Football League history (top four tiers), no side has ever scored 5+ goals in three consecutive away games in the capital.
Having earned 22 points from their first eight Premier League home games this season (W7 D1 L0), Brentford have picked up just one point from their last three (W0 D1 L2). However, they did come from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Manchester City last time out.
Liverpool have conceded the first goal in five of their last seven Premier League games, having done so in just three of their first 13 this season. However, they’ve come to back to either win (1) or draw (4) all five of these games.
Liverpool have had at least 20 shots in their last three Premier League away games (24 vs Tottenham, 22 vs West Ham, 23 vs Nottingham Forest). The last team to do so in four in a row were Manchester City in November 2014.
No player has been involved in (7) more Premier League goals against Brentford than Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, with the Egyptian netting at least once in each of his last four against the Bees.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has scored 23 away Premier League goals in London – the only player with more is Wayne Rooney (30). Salah also has 13 assists in the capital, with only Ryan Giggs (19 goals, 29 assists) having more away goals and assists combined than the Egyptian (36).
No players have scored more home goals in the Premier League this season than Brentford pair Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa (9). The only Brentford player to reach double figures at home in a Premier League campaign is Ivan Toney (11 in 2022-23).
Brentford will host Liverpool at the Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday in what promises to be an exciting Premier League clash. Both teams will be looking to secure a vital three points as they continue their respective campaigns.
Team News:
Brentford will be without the services of Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva, and Christian Norgaard due to injuries. However, they will be boosted by the return of Ivan Toney, who has been in fine form for the Bees this season.
Liverpool, on the other hand, will be without the injured trio of Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones, and Naby Keita. However, they will welcome back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who missed the midweek Champions League clash against AC Milan.
Stats:
– Brentford are currently in 11th place in the Premier League table with 8 points from their opening 5 games.
– Liverpool are in 3rd place with 10 points and are unbeaten in the league so far this season.
– Brentford have scored 8 goals and conceded 7 in the league, while Liverpool have scored 12 and conceded 6.
Head-to-Head:
This will be the first meeting between Brentford and Liverpool in the Premier League, as the Bees were promoted to the top flight this season. However, the two teams have faced each other in cup competitions in the past, with Liverpool winning both encounters.
Prediction:
Liverpool will be the favorites going into this match, but Brentford have shown that they are a team to be reckoned with this season. It promises to be a closely contested game, but I predict Liverpool will come out on top with a narrow victory.
Don’t miss this exciting clash between Brentford and Liverpool on Saturday. Stay tuned for all the action and updates on this Premier League showdown.
