THE LOWDOWN
BRENTFORD
- Brentford recorded their second Premier League victory of the season last weekend away at Wolves and backed that up in midweek with a 7-0 thrashing of League Two side Oldham in the Carabao Cup.
- Midfielder Shandon Baptiste is available following suspension as he served his ban in the midweek Carabao Cup clash with Oldham but Mads Sorensen and Josh Dasilva are long-term absentees.
LIVERPOOL
- Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace was not only their second successive three-goal victory in the Premier League, but also their fourth win in five league games so far in this campaign, taking them to 13 points from a possible 15.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold has recovered from illness in time to feature here and Roberto Firmino is close to a return, however the match comes too soon for midfielder Thiago with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain likely to come into central midfield,.

THE PREDICTION
Liverpool represent Brentford’s toughest Premier League challenge yet with the Bees having adapted to Premier League life expertly so far, losing just one of their first five fixtures. Defensively, Thomas Frank’s side have hugely impressed, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just two goals in total. However, the class and form of Liverpool’s front free should ultimately find a way past the hosts and with the likes of Alisson between the sticks and the colossal Virgil van Dijk at centre-back, the Reds have enough steel within their squad to keep Brentford out and secure another three points here, recording what would be their fourth Premier League clean sheet this season in the process.
Tip: LIVERPOOL TO WIN
