Liverpool vs Brentford - When It's On, Where to Watch and Prediction

Published on 11 November 2023 at 20:00

Liverpool looks to secure another three points at home versus Thomas Frank’s Brentford tomorrow afternoon. 

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool seek a comfortable three points at home in reconciliation of a poor previous league outing. The Reds’ visit to Kenilworth Road ended in disappointment following a lackluster performance which barely secured a draw. Accompanied by Liverpool’s European loss to Toulouse on Thursday night, the Merseyside giants will look to return to their previous form. 

Leading the visiting side, Thomas Frank hopes to perform a siege on the fortress that is Anfield. The London side, which currently sits 9th on the table, is no stranger to a travelling victory. With notable away wins in recent memory, including an impressive trip to Stamford Bridge, The Bees are certainly a force to be reckoned with. 

 

Speaking at the pre match press conference yesterday evening, Jurgen Klopp expressed his caution on Brentford: “It’s always interesting to play them and difficult as well. But it’s Anfield and we should use that.” 

“It’s well organized, sensational set-pieces, all these kinds of things. Really offensive players, really fast, counterattacking really good. They change styles from time to time; if they consider you as a top-six team then it’s a bit more defensive, if not they have a bit more possession parts.”

Prediction

Making an account of Liverpool’s previous home form, it would serve as a jarring upset if the Bees could manage to overcome the Reds at Anfield. While a clean sheet for Klopp’s side is incredibly unlikely, it would be reasonably safe to expect a win for Liverpool this weekend. 

Liverpool 3-1 Brentford.
