Liverpool vs Brentford prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2023-11-11 14:00.
It’s been a disappointing week for Liverpool, who suffered their second defeat of the season when going down 3-2 to Toulouse in midweek European action, which followed a disappointing 1-1 draw against Premier League (PL) newcomers Luton Town. At Kenilworth Road, their blushes were spared by Luis DĂaz, who bravely put his familial heartache aside to head in a 95th-minute equaliser, earning Liverpool a league-high 11th point of the campaign from losing positions.
That was their 41st PL goal scored in the 90th minute or later during Jürgen Klopp's tenure, second only to Manchester City’s 42 in that time. The Reds now seek the comfort of Anfield to get back to winning ways, where Brentford await, a team they’ve won their last seven home matches against while keeping six clean sheets in those meetings.
Thomas Frank’s men might feel they’ve never been more ready to end that hoodoo though, as they’re coming off a three-game winning run. Should they capitalise on both their fine form and their hosts’ dips in performance, they could come away with a fourth successive top-flight victory for the first time since March 1939!
That would entail the Bees flourishing far from the hive, something they’re not accustomed to since a staggering 14 of their last 15 PL wins have come when playing in London. When venturing outside of the capital, Brentford have only won twice in their last 16 league matches on their travels (D6, L8), making the impending trip to Merseyside even more daunting.
Players to watch: Mohamed Salah is on a mind-blowing 14-game sequence of scoring or assisting at Anfield in the PL (G15, A3), and will look to join PL royalty in Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry as the only players to do so in 15 successive matches at their respective home grounds. Brentford’s own #11 Yoane Wissa will try to steal the limelight by netting against Liverpool for a third season running, and could do so early on, since his three PL goals this term have all come before half-time.
Hot streak: Liverpool have won each of their eight home games in 2023/24 by at least a two-goal margin.
