Brentford are gearing up for another challenging Premier League fixture, as they prepare to host league leaders Liverpool.
The Bees have struggled recently, with just one victory in their last eight matches. This disappointing form has included five losses, making their current situation even more difficult. However, there was a silver lining in their midweek encounter with Manchester City. Despite being two goals down at home, Brentford produced an impressive comeback, leveling the score in the 92nd minute to secure a 2-2 draw.
Although this late rally against Manchester City was a positive, Brentford’s home form is becoming increasingly concerning. They’ve gone without a win in their last four home games, having drawn once and lost three times. This stark contrast to their earlier form—where they won nine out of their first ten home matches this season—raises plenty of questions about what’s gone wrong in front of their own supporters. A strong start against Liverpool would undoubtedly ease the tension surrounding manager Thomas Frank, but even an early lead might not guarantee success, as Brentford have lost more Premier League games after scoring first than any other side this season. In fact, they’ve been on the receiving end of five such defeats.
On the other side, Liverpool come into this match after a similarly frustrating result. In their most recent outing, they fought back to earn a 1-1 draw away to Nottingham Forest. This result marked another setback for the Reds, as they’ve now won only one of their four matches in 2025, drawing two and losing one. This is a far cry from their dominant form in 2024 under manager Arne Slot, when they secured 40 wins, nine draws, and only one loss in 50 games with both Feyenoord and Liverpool. Despite this minor ‘slump,’ Liverpool will still travel to Brentford with confidence, knowing they’ve been strong on the road this season.
Liverpool’s unbeaten run away from home has been impressive, with seven wins and three draws in their first ten league matches this campaign. That record is only bettered by a select few in the history of the top-flight. With such a solid away record, the Reds will be looking to bounce back from recent disappointments and continue their strong form as they seek to extend their lead at the top of the table. The historical head-to-head between these two sides also favors Liverpool, who have won nine of their last eleven encounters with Brentford, drawing once and losing just once.
Looking at the players, Brentford will rely on their captain, Christian Nørgaard, to inspire his team once again. Nørgaard played a pivotal role in their comeback against Manchester City, scoring the crucial equalizer in the dying moments of the game. The Danish midfielder has been a consistent performer this season, with all three of his goals coming at home and contributing to positive results for his team. With Brentford struggling for form, Nørgaard will need to step up and deliver another strong performance if they are to challenge Liverpool. His leadership and ability to control the midfield will be vital in this crucial encounter.
On the other side, Liverpool’s Diogo Jota will be a key player to watch. Jota has been in excellent form, scoring in his last two appearances and contributing to five goals in his previous seven matches against Brentford. With his eye for goal and his sharp movement, Jota will be looking to add to his tally and help Liverpool secure another important three points. His attacking presence will be crucial for Liverpool as they aim to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League.
One intriguing stat ahead of this match is Brentford’s impressive ability to score early at home. They have netted a league-high 16 first-half goals at home this season, showing that they can be dangerous in the opening stages of games. If they can maintain this attacking momentum against Liverpool, they may be able to unsettle the Reds and create problems early on. However, with Liverpool’s strong away record and their ability to bounce back from setbacks, the Bees will need to be at their best if they are to get a result.
The game will also be a significant test for manager Thomas Frank, who will be hoping to inspire his team to end their winless streak at home. With the pressure mounting on Brentford, a positive result against one of the Premier League’s top teams could go a long way in lifting spirits and helping them regain their form. Liverpool, on the other hand, will be keen to continue their strong start to the year and get back to winning ways after their recent stumbles.
Brentford will likely look to make the most of their attacking potential, especially in the early stages of the match. They’ve proven they can score goals in the first half, and if they can catch Liverpool off guard, it could put them in a strong position. However, given Liverpool’s experience and their formidable attacking options, it will be a tough challenge for the home side. Frank will need to find the right balance between attacking intent and defensive stability to get something from this game.
As for Liverpool, despite their recent draws, they will be full of confidence heading into this match. Their track record against Brentford has been impressive, and with key players like Jota in good form, they’ll be looking to take advantage of any weaknesses in the Brentford defense. The Reds will be eager to maintain their momentum and keep their place at the top of the table, knowing that every point counts in their quest for the Premier League title.
Ultimately, this game promises to be a thrilling encounter between two teams with contrasting recent form. Brentford will be determined to bounce back and improve their home record, while Liverpool will be hoping to reignite their winning ways and extend their unbeaten away run. With plenty of individual talent on display, this match could go either way, and both sides will need to be at their best to secure the points. The stage is set for a fascinating clash, and football fans will be eagerly watching to see how it unfolds.
