Brentford currently sit 11th in the Premier League standings ahead of this weekend's round of fixtures - having gathered 28 points from their 21 fixtures.

The Bees have won just one of their last five league outings, a victory which came away at Southampton via a 5-0 scoreline on the south coast.

In midweek, though, they fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw with Manchester City on home soil.

In front of goal, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have been the key men in the Premier League for the hosts.

Mbeumo has netted 13 times in the league, while Wissa has scored on 11 occasions so far. Mikkel Damsgaard has been the club's top assister with seven to his name this season.

Brentford are set to have the same squad available to them as they did for that midweek draw with Manchester City.

The Bees will continue to be without injury absentees Josh Dasilva, Gustavo Nunes, Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer, Igor Thiago and Aaron Hickey.

Liverpool overcame Brentford at Anfield earlier this season, in what was Arne Slot's first competitive home fixture in charge.

The Reds secured a 2-0 victory that day in August thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.

"The [City] game turned out quite open and end to end at times, especially with the amount of shots we created. For us, the performance was so good, in that we were brave when playing out and brave with the high pressure.

"Of course, we'd like to do the same against Liverpool but it will be difficult. We need to be brave again on Saturday, but we also need to be clever to avoid too many defensive transitions.

"I expect an entertaining game. I expect a game that, at times, will be end to end. It's about how we can play to our strengths, but also acknowledge and be aware of what Liverpool are very good at: they're probably the best transition team in the world."

This is the Bees' fourth top-flight campaign since promotion and they have finished the previous seasons in 13th, ninth and 16th.

Brentford have not kept a clean sheet at home this season in any of their 14 matches in league and cup.

Mbeumo and Wissa between them have scored 60 per cent of the Bees' league goals this season.
