Liverpool form & balance check
Due to too much inconsistency in results, Liverpool spent most of the season in the midfield of the table, but a current winning streak of five consecutive victories has catapulted them to fifth place.
However, the Reds seem to have found their rhythm too late. With Manchester United and Newcastle four and six points behind respectively, and one more game already played, it seems unlikely that Liverpool will be able to continue their climb.
Have the Reds found the ryhtm?
Despite a still shaky defense that has conceded seven goals in the last five games, the Reds’ offense has been in top form, scoring 16 goals in that time. The performances of Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota as luxury wild cards, are particularly noteworthy as they have scored five goals in each of these five wins.
Liverpool facts & analysis
- Currently in 5th place in the table.
- 3rd place in the home table
- Third best offense at home
Brentford form & balance check
Brentford have won their last two league games, having previously gone six straight games without a win (three draws and three defeats). Their European Cup qualification hopes are still there, as they are only four points behind Tottenham in ninth place.
However, they still face a challenging remaining program. The Bees face Liverpool in their last four fixtures, followed by encounters with West Ham, Tottenham and Manchester City.
Does Toney score?
However, Brentford have shown this season that they are not afraid of the Premier League’s top teams, picking up numerous points against Manchester United (4-0) and City (2-1), London clubs Chelsea (0-0/2-0), Tottenham (2-2) and Arsenal (1-1), and in the first leg against Liverpool (3-1).
To get a second win of the season against the Reds, Bees fans have high hopes for Ivan Toney, who is the third highest scorer in the Premier League with 20 goals. His long-distance duel with Mohamed Salah will of course be exciting to watch.
Brentford facts & analysis
- 9th place in the Premier League table.
