Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Liverpool have been phenomenal this season, unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League matches. Brentford have also been very good, especially at home, as prove of them holding Manchester City to a draw in their last game and being ranked the third best team in the Premier League for home form. Despite that impressive feat it does look likely that the tough challenge in doing that to Liverpool will be too much for them this Saturday.

Brentford Preview

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Line-Up: Mark Flekken; Keane Lewis-Potter, Sepp van den Berg, Nathan Collins, Mads Roerslev; Vitaly Janelt, Christian Nørgaard (c), Mathias Jensen; Mikkel Damsgaard, Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo

Brentford have had a great start to the season, finding themselves just outside the top half of the table. After 21 games they sit in 11th place with eight wins, nine losses and four draws. Those matches have left them with 28 points, just three points behind 10th placed Fulham and two points ahead of Liverpool’s fierce rivals Manchester United. Thomas Frank has yet again been one of the most underrated managers in the Premier League, getting the best out of his players. Two of those Brentford players have been the duo of Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbuemo. They have massively stepped up for The Bees, both achieving the double digit mark for goals, Wissa with 11 and Mbeumo with 13. The pair of them have been impressive for a couple of seasons now but they have really relished more minutes since the departure of Ivan Toney. Mbeumo has even been linked with a move to opponents Liverpool but as of right now he dons the Brentford jersey and it is his job to try and make the difference for his club this Saturday.

Liverpool Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: Alisson; Andy Robertson, Virgil Van Dijk (c), Ibrahima Konaté, Trent Alexander-Arnold; Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch; Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah; Luis Díaz

Liverpool have had an excellent start to the season, finding themselves as league leaders so early on in the campaign. After 20 games they sit in first place with 14 wins, one loss and five draws. Those matches have left them with 47 points, holding a four point gap to second placed Arsenal and with a game in hand. In the goals for The Reds has been the unstoppable force of Mohamed Salah, having a Balon D’Or worthy season. The Egyptian has found the back of the net 18 times this season, the highest tally out of all the players in the Premier League. It hasn’t just been the spectacular goal output for Salah like it usually is, but Salah has been a provider for 13 assists to his teammates. He cannot avoid being the star of the show and that should be no different against Brentford in this Saturday afternoon’s action.
