After some poor recent results, Liverpool will be looking to return to winning ways when they welcome Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday.
Luis Diaz rescued a point for Liverpool in their last league outing as the Reds were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw against Luton Town, but the performance didn't improve against Toulouse on Thursday, with the Reds falling to a 3-2 defeat in the Europa League. The loss in France meant that qualification for the knockout stages was forced to wait another week, but the Reds must improve on Sunday to remain among the title challenge.
Luckily for Jurgen Klopp's side, both Arsenal and Spurs also dropped points in the league, but Man City moved to the top spot after winning 6-1 against Bournemouth. Liverpool have won both of their home clashes against Brentford since the Bees were promoted in 2021, and Klopp will be hoping for a third this weekend.
