Brentford will welcome Liverpool to the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, 25 October, with the hosts looking to make it four league defeats in a row for the Reds.
Brentford will be mostly pleased with how they have done this season following a summer of upheaval at the club, with their home form particularly good.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are in desperate need of a win after a dire run of league results.

Brentford vs Liverpool prediction: The Bees to inflict more damage
Key Stats
- Liverpool have picked up zero points from their last three Premier League matches.
- Brentford have taken points from two of the three ‘big six' clubs they've faced this season.
- Both teams have scored in seven of Liverpool's last eight matches in all competitions.
Correct score prediction: Brentford 1-1 Liverpool
The only home match that Brentford have lost this season was against Man City, and even then, they had chances to at least draw the game. This is not the ground Liverpool would have chosen to go to for a must-win match.

Liverpool preview: Isak and Salah to be benched?
After being hauled off at half-time against Frankfurt, Alexander Isak isn't expected to start this one, and neither is Mo Salah, who has been sluggish all season. That should mean starts for Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, who both impressed in the win over Frankfurt on Wednesday night.
Predicted lineup: Mamardashvili (GK), Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Ekitike
Last five results
- Frankfurt 1-5 Liverpool
- Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
- Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool
- Galatasaray 1-0 Liverpool
- Crystal Palace 2-1 Liverpool
Player to watch: Hugo Ekitike
After spending more than £400m in the summer, the only player who is living up to the hype in a Liverpool shirt so far is Hugo Ekitike. With Isak set to sit this one out, the Frenchman will start up front and will look to stretch the Brentford back line with his blistering pace.
