Premier League leaders Liverpool face a tough away trip against Brentford as they look to get back to winning ways.
The Reds have suffered a slight dip in form after drawing their last two Premier League games against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, as well as losing to Tottenham in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
This could be another tricky game for Arne Slot’s men, with the Bees boasting a strong home record with seven of their eight Premier League wins this season at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Having also trailed by two to draw against Manchester City in midweek, the Reds know they will have to be at their best.
