In-form Liverpool will be looking to continue their outrageous Premier League form when they take on Brentford at Anfield this weekend.
A hard-fought 1-0 home triumph over Fulham in midweek saw Liverpool string together five Premier League wins for the first time in 2022/23, moving them within a four-point distance of fourth-placed Manchester United. But securing another top-four finish still looks unlikely, especially with United boasting a game in hand, highlighting the significance of avenging a 3-1 defeat reverse defeat against Brentford. Anfield is traditionally a perfect venue to help Liverpool get the result they need, as evidenced by the Reds’ emphatic record of 12 wins in 17 home league matches this season (D4, L1). On top of that, Jurgen Klopp’s men have a track record of finishing strong, with an impressive tally of 12 victories in their last 13 matches during the month of May (D1).
In the meantime, visiting Brentford have turned the corner in the build-up to this contest, going from six consecutive Premier League games without winning (D3, L3) to back-to-back victories over bottom-half teams Chelsea and Nottingham Forest. With seventh-placed Tottenham Hotspur only four points away at the beginning of this round, the ‘Bees’ still believe in their chances of securing a first-ever European finish. But defying a disappointing four-match form on the road (W1, D1, L2) needs to be addressed, which doesn’t look likely. Indeed, Thomas Frank’s men have collected just two wins in their 14 Premier League encounters against sides starting the round in the top five of the table (D5, L7). That record includes a thumping 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in this corresponding fixture last season.
