Reds will hope to go seven points clear and put pressure back on Arsenal in the title race
Liverpool are back on the road for another potentially tough Premier League away trip at Brentford this afternoon. The Reds head to the Gtech Community Stadium after needing Diogo Jota’s swift heroics off the bench to rescue a 1-1 draw against high-flying Nottingham Forest in midweek, a result that coupled with Arsenal’s subsequent north London derby victory over Tottenham saw their lead at the top of the table trimmed down to four points.
While Arne Slot’s side still possess that valuable game in hand, they will be hoping to re-assert some authority in a previously one-horse title race in west London today before Arsenal host Aston Villa later on and surprise package Forest host bottom club Southampton on Sunday. But they are likely set for another stern test against a mid-table Brentford team that boast one of the strongest home records in the division.
The Bees have won the same amount of matches as Liverpool and Arsenal on their own patch so far this season and bring in Yehor Yarmoliuk for Mathias Jensen in midfield. Luis Diaz is fit to start for the visitors as Kostas Tsimikas comes in, but there’s no Diogo Jota. Follow Brentford vs Liverpool live below!
