Brentford vs Liverpool: Premier League – teams, start, lineups
Liverpool halted their four-match losing streak by coming from behind to win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday, but the Premier League champions’ defence of their title is likely to be heavily tested once again at Brentford. The Reds suffered their fourth straight loss, three of which came in the league, when they were beaten 2-1 at home on Sunda
y by fierce rivals Manchester United. Brentford, who themselves had piled pressure on United with a 3-1 home win on September 27, have had a mixed season compared with their impressive displays in recent years after their long-awaited bow in the top flight. Liverpool will be the favourites to collect three points, but Brentford Community Stadium in West London is rarely an easy place to visit, and question marks hang over Arne Slot’s side, including the selection of their mercurial Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah.
