Liverpool have won six of their eight previous Premier League games against Brentford
The Reds have not kept a clean-sheet since winning at Burnley in mid September
Recommended bet: Liverpool to win and both teams to score
After returning to winning ways in spectacular style in Europe during the week, Liverpool will now be aiming to snap their three-game losing run in the Premier League when they visit Brentford in Saturday's late kick-off.
The pressure was on Arne Slot's side heading into Wednesday's Champions League trip to Eintracht Frankfurt following a run of four consecutive losses across all competitions that included defeats to Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Manchester United in the league.
However, the Reds delivered a five-star display in Germany, triumphing 5-1, which should set them up nicely for this trip to the Gtech Community Stadium where they will be facing a Brentford side fresh from their own victory over West Ham on Monday night.

Team news
Brentford could include former Liverpool quartet Caoimhin Kelleher, Jordan Henderson, Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho in their starting XI, but Antoni Milambo (ACL) and Paris Maghoma (thigh) remain sidelined.
Head coach Keith Andrews has opted for a back five in games against Manchester City and Chelsea this season and he could adopt a similar approach on Saturday, opening the door for Keane Lewis-Potter to be recalled.
Liverpool are expected to be without Jeremie Frimpong and Alexander Isak for this trip to London after they picked up respective hamstring and groin injuries against Frankfurt.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker (hamstring) also remains sidelined, so Giorgi Mamardashvili will continue between the sticks, while after being restricted to a substitute role during the week, Mohamed Salah will hope to earn a recall.
The stats
Liverpool have won each of the last five meetings between these two sides since a 3-1 defeat at the Gtech in January 2023.
Brentford have won two of their last three league games but they have not triumphed in back-to-back top-flight matches under Andrews.
Liverpool have lost on each of their last four top-flight visits to London, they have not been beaten in five league games in a row in the capital since 1970.
The Reds are also bidding to avoid losing four Premier League games on the spin for the first time since February 2021.
Brentford forward Igor Thiago has five Premier League goals for the season, only Manchester City's Erling Haaland (11) and Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo (six) have scored more heading into the weekend.

Prediction
Liverpool will hope that their midweek demolition of Frankfurt has brought their recent struggles to an end and they will be confident of claiming an overdue domestic victory when facing a Brentford side they have a good record against.
The Bees have been consistently inconsistent under Andrews, but they have only lost once at the Gtech this season and they will believe they have the firepower to hurt a shaky Liverpool backline.
The reigning champions are without a clean sheet in any of their last eight games across all competitions and have only shut out two of 13 opponents all season.
Those defensive frailties could be on show in the capital once more, but the visitors should have enough to claim the spoils and end their run of domestic defeats.
