Brentford have failed to win in their last six away games, losing 4-1 at Southampton this week
The Bees have shipped 3+ goals at the Saints, Newcastle and Burnley in that run
Liverpool scored three goals when these two met earlier this season
The Reds have scored 2.6 goals per home game this term
Reds look to regain scoring touch
Liverpool certainly felt the absence of Mo Salah and Sadio mane this week, as they drew 0-0 with Arsenal in the Carabao Cup. They failed to get an advantage in the first leg of their semi-final clash, while they have the same issue to overcome in the next few weeks.
Liverpool host Brentford on Sunday hoping that their new-look forward line can swing back into scoring form. Of course, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota are fine understudies for Jurgen Klopp to call upon. Can they fire the Reds to victory this weekend?
Tough trip for Brentford
Brentford have struggled on the road this season, losing four of their 10 trips and winning only two times. After an initial strong start on their travels the Bees have failed to win in their last six on the road in the league, while they’ve been wide open defensively.
Across those six games Brentford have conceded three or more on three occasions, while they’ve shipped 16 goals in total during that run. They were thumped 4-1 away to Southampton in midweek, not ideal preparation for a visit to Anfield.
Comfortable win for Reds
Brentford may not be clashing with Liverpool at their best, but there’s little doubt their forward line still packs a punch. Jota has scored four goals in his last four Premier League home games, while Firmino has scored four goals in his last three Premier League games against promoted sides.
Liverpool benefit from the aggressive pressing style that Klopp has put in place and that should pay off for them this weekend. They’ve scored 2.6 goals per home game in the league this term, while they put three past Brentford when the pair met earlier this season.
Given Brentford’s issues at the back, Liverpoo

布伦特福德队在最近的六场客场比赛中都没有赢球,本周他们以4-1输给了南安普顿队
在这段时间里,蜜蜂队已经在圣徒队、纽卡斯尔队和伯恩利队打进了3个以上的进球
利物浦队在本赛季早些时候两队相遇时进了三个球
红军本赛季在主场的每场比赛都有2.6个进球
红魔希望重新获得得分机会
利物浦在本周的卡拉堡杯上0-0战平阿森纳,他们确实感受到了莫·萨拉赫和萨迪奥·马尼的缺席。他们未能在半决赛的第一回合取得优势,而在接下来的几周,他们还有同样的问题要克服。
利物浦周日主场迎战布伦特福德,希望他们的新锋线能回到得分状态。当然,罗伯托·菲尔米诺和迪奥戈·霍塔是克洛普的好替补。他们能让红军在这个周末取得胜利吗?
布伦特福德的旅程很艰难
布伦特福德本赛季在客场打得很艰难,10次客场中输了4次,只赢了2次。在经历了一开始的强势开局后,蜜蜂队在过去的六场客场比赛中都没有赢球,而他们的防守一直很开放。
在这六场比赛中,布伦特福德在三次比赛中失球三次以上,而在这段时间里他们总共进了16个球。他们在周中以4-1大败南安普顿,这对于访问安菲尔德来说并不是理想的准备。
红军轻松获胜
布伦特福德也许并没有在他们最好的时候与利物浦发生冲突,但毫无疑问他们的锋线仍然具有冲击力。在最近的四场主场比赛中,约塔打入了四粒进球,而菲尔米诺在最近的三场英超比赛中也打入了四粒进球。
利物浦受益于克洛普的侵略性的紧逼风格,这将在本周末为他们带来回报。本赛季他们在主场的每场比赛都有2.6个进球,而在本赛季早些时候对阵布伦特福德时,他们也有3个进球。
考虑到布伦特福德在后防线的问题,利物浦
