Premier League leaders Liverpool face a tough trip away to Brentford as they look to return to winning ways.
The Reds have suffered a slight decline in form after drawing their last two Premier League matches against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, in addition to losing to Tottenham in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
It could be another tough game for Arne Sloat’s men, as the Bees have a strong home record with seven of their eight Premier League wins this season at Gtech Community Stadium.
Having come from two goals down to draw with Manchester City in midweek, the Reds know they must be at their best.
