The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Brentford lock horns with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side in an important clash at Anfield on Saturday.
Liverpool vs Brentford Preview
Brentford are currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have consistently punched above their weight so far this season. The away side edged Nottingham Forest to a 2-1 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. The Merseyside giants edged Fulham to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.
