However, the Reds will not have it easy. Brentford have an excellent home record, winning nine, drawing two and losing two of their 11 league games in front of their own fans so far this season, and in midweek they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with faltering defending champions Manchester City.

While they do still have a game in hand on their rivals, a further stumble could leave Liverpool vulnerable with the title race sure to twist and turn for the remainder of the season. Their Saturday afternoon business is a trip south to London to meet a Brentford team enjoying a typically solid campaign so far.
