Preview Brentford Premier League, Sep 25, 2021
Preview Brentford prepare to face Liverpool for the first time since May 1947. On Tuesday, the Bees picked Oldham Athletic apart in a 7-0 win in an EFL third-round fixtue on home turf. Last weekend, the club earned its second victory (WDDLW) after defeating Wolves 2-0 at Molineux, despite being a man down for a major portion of the second half. Shandon Baptiste (R. 64') was shown his second yellow after wrestling Trincão to the floor. Goals from Ivan Toney (28’ P.) and Bryan Mbeumo (34’) settled the contest of ninety minutes. The club remains in 9th place, having picked up 8 points from 2W, 2D, & 1L. Brentford have an average of 1 goal scored per game, having scored 5 goals in as many games. The Bees have conceded 2 goals (0.4 goals conceded-per-game), and thus have a goal difference of +3. The last episode of the meeting (at Griffin Park) between Brentford and Liverpool resulted in the Bees’ relegation from the English top-flight division, while the Reds went on to win the title. On Saturday, a 3—5—2 formation could be seen from Thomas Frank with Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo in attack. Toney is the club’s top goal scorer with two goals. The 25-year-old will be in search of his third for the season on Saturday against Livepool.
Preview Liverpool Premier League, Sep 25, 2021
Preview On Tuesday, Liverpool defeated Norwich City, 3-0, in an EFL third-round fixture. Before that win, the Reds picked Crystal Palace to pieces in a 3-0 win on home soil. Liverpool are on par with the Blues at the top of the table but sit in second place based on alphabetical order. The club has 13 points from 4W, 1D, & 0L and remains unbeaten: WWDWW ahead of this Matchday 6 fixture against Brentford. Having scored 12 goals after five Premier League games, the Reds are left with an average of 2.4 goals scored per game. Also, Liverpool have conceded only 1 goal so far, in the length of the current season, and have a goal difference of +11. The Reds have only one defeat in their last 27 Premier League fixtures against newly promoted sides (W22 & D4), losing only to Fulham at Anfield by a solitary goal last season. Jurgen Klopp will look to extend the fine record on Saturday. The 54-year-old could emerge alongside the Reds with the familiar 4—3—3 formation against Brentford. Salah has been in red-hot-form and a goal from him will see him level Steven Gerrard's Liverpool record of thirteen league goals in London.
