Liverpool aims to reignite their Premier League title challenge against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium this Saturday. The Reds are looking for their first Premier League win since September after losing their last three matches. Brentford, currently 14th in the league, hopes to secure consecutive league wins for the first time since May.
Liverpool arrested a four-game losing streak with a dominant 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday. However, they have lost their last three Premier League games, the most recent being against Manchester United. The team hopes to avoid losing four consecutive top-flight games for the first time since February 2021. Liverpool has struggled in London, losing their last four Premier League away games against teams in the capital.
Brentford has alternated results in each Premier League match this season, recently defeating West Ham United 2-0 after losing 1-0 to Manchester City. They are looking for successive league wins for the first time since April-May last season under manager Thomas Frank.
