Liverpool can capture new target and address rare Premier League shortcoming

Liverpool will be aiming to do more than just strengthen their Premier League lead when they travel to Brentford on Saturday,

The Reds can also address one of the very few shortcomings they have experienced on the road during the Premier League era.

No club has won at more stadiums in the top-flight since 1992 than the Anfield side, having triumphed at least once at 57 of the 61 grounds to which they have travelled.

Their most recent addition to that number came in January 2020 when they won at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a venue where they then were victorious again the following campaign and in 2022/23.

The reason Liverpool have won at more venues than historically more successful Premier League sides Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City is due to their excellent record at teams either promoted for one season or who were set to move to a new ground.

For example, the Reds won at both Barnsley and Swindon Town during the pair's sole campaigns in the top flight, and triumphed at Bolton Wanderers' old Burnden Park, Middlesbrough's former Ayresome Park ground and Sunderland's ex-home Roker Park before the trio all moved to a new stadium - where Liverpool have also won.

Indeed, there remain only four stadia where Liverpool haven't tasted victory during the Premier League era - a statistic they can halve over the next fortnight.

The Reds have yet to triumph at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium, where they were held 3-3 in September 2021 before being dismantled 3-1 in January 2023 to spark a dismal run of form.
