Liverpool vs Brentford Prediction and Betting Tips | 12th November 2023
Liverpool will be looking to get back to winning ways as they play hosts to Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday.
On the back of a 1-1 draw with Luton last Saturday, Liverpool were expected to muster a strong response in midweek against Toulouse in the Europa League. However, a subdued display from Klopp's men saw them fall to a 3-2 loss to their French opponents.
The Reds are currently third in the Premier League table thanks to a rather encouraging start to the new season. However, Klopp isn't exactly without concerns at this point.
He has a long list of injuries which includes names like Andrew Robertson, Thiago Alcantara, Curtis Jones and Stefan Bajcetic.
Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch could return on Sunday after being sidelined in midweek. But Alexis Mac Allister will be suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season last weekend against Luton.
Meanwhile, Brentford registered an impressive 3-2 win over West Ham United in their latest outing to make it three wins in a row in the Premier League. Neal Maupay opened the scoring for the Bees in the 11th minute.
However, goals from Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen subsequently fired the Hammers into the lead by the 26th minute. 10 minutes into the second half, an own goal from Konstantinos Mavropanos restored parity in the game before Nathan Collins scored the winner for Thomas Frank's side in the 69th minute.
The three-game winning streak has taken Brentford to ninth in the Premier League table. On current form, they could cause some serious problems for an unsettled Liverpool side.
