Premier League on Sky Sports: Brentford vs Liverpool betting preview and tips
The Gtech Community Stadium takes centre stage on Saturday night as Brentford welcome Liverpool to West London.
The Bees are chasing back-to-back league wins for the first time this season after a morale-boosting derby triumph over West Ham United.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are desperate to steady the ship after a bruising run of domestic defeats dented their title defence.
Here, Sports News Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of the clash.
The tale so far
Keith Andrews’ side returned from the international break in style, with goals from Igor Thiago and Mathias Jensen earning their first away victory of the campaign.
That result lifted Brentford’s confidence ahead of a tough test against the reigning champions.
Liverpool have endured a nightmare October, though, losing four games on the bounce across all competitions before rediscovering their scoring touch in Europe.
A ruthless 5-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek hinted at a possible revival under Arne Slot.
Yet, the Reds still bear the scars of a shock Old Trafford defeat, sealed by Harry Maguire’s late header.
Having started the season with six straight league wins, Liverpool now find themselves in urgent need of consistency as they make the short trip south.
Best bets
Brentford to win or draw
Brentford have built up a strong reputation at home by making the Gtech a difficult place for any side to visit.
With Liverpool showing signs of fatigue from their midweek exertions and struggling for domestic consistency, the Bees may sense an opportunity to capitalise.
Both teams to score
This has happened in two of Brentford’s last three home Premier League matches.
It has also occurred in three of Liverpool’s last four away league games.
Hugo Ekitike to have over 0.5 shots on target
With record signing Alexander Isak yet to make an impact for Liverpool and also having picked up a knock against Eintracht Frankfurt, Hugo Ekitike is likely to return to the starting line-up.
Ekitike should also be deployed in his preferred position to maximise his influence on the game.
