Liverpool will be hoping to get back on track and continue their Premier League title charge as they visit Brentford.
Arne Slot’s side required instant impact from substitute Diogo Jota to salvage a point against high-flying Nottingham Forest, allowing Arsenal to close the gap to four points at the top of the table. While they do still have a game in hand on their rivals, a further stumble could leave Liverpool vulnerable with the title race sure to twist and turn for the remainder of the season.
Their Saturday afternoon business is a trip south to London to meet a Brentford team enjoying a typically solid campaign so far. There was late drama for Thomas Frank’s men on Tuesday night as they pinched a draw in stoppage time against Manchester City, but it was another performance to instil belief as they look to climb into the top half as the back half of the season begins.
