Liverpool are targeting a sixth successive victory over Brentford, while the Bees' sole win against the Reds in 15 attempts since 1938 was a 3-1 win in West London in January 2023.
Brentford vs Liverpool preview
After stopping the rot on Wednesday night, can Liverpool get back to winning ways in the Premier League? In mid-week, fair to say a few people on Merseyside were a bit worried when the Reds went 1-0 down against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. Nevertheless, Arne Slot's side came roaring back and ultimately won 5-1 at Waldstadion. Hugo Ekitiké burst in behind to equaliser against his former club and then both Virgil van Dijk and then Ibrahima Konaté headed corners home from close-range, with Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai on target later on to cement victory.
Before this of course, Liverpool had lost four successive matches across all competitions for the first time in 11 years. In the Premier League, the Reds have suffered three 2-1 loses on the spin, beaten by both Crystal Palace and Chelsea in London, before last Sunday's chaotic defeat when Manchester United pinched the points late on at Anfield.
This is the first time Slot has faced serious adversity since becoming Liverpool manager, with his team now fourth, four points below league-leaders Arsenal. In a fortnight, the Reds will face Manchester City at the Etihad, welcoming Real Madrid to Anfield before then too, so they simply cannot afford to drop many more points here with massive fixtures right around the corner.
Given their visitors' recent results, Brentford might just fancy their chances of claiming a noteworthy scalp come Saturday night. Last time out on Monday, in one of the most one-sided Premier League matches you're every likely to see, Keith Andrews' team swatted aside West Ham United 2-0 at the London Stadium. Both Dango Ouattara and Igor Thiago had five shots in the first half, the latter breaking the deadlock on the cusp of half time, before Mathias Jensen fired home a second.
This was Brentford's first away victory of the season, but they are yet to taste defeat at the Gtech Community Stadium. The Bees have beaten both Aston Villa and Manchester United in front of their own supporters, while also holding Chelsea to a 2-2 draw; Fábio Carvalho snatching a stoppage time equaliser. Back in January, the now departed Darwin Núñez scored not once but twice in added time as Liverpool won 2-0 in West London. Here, can Brentford get some revenge on Saturday night?

Brentford team news
Aaron Hickey is a doubt, having suffered a knock representing Scotland a fortnight ago, while Antoni Milambo will not be seen again this season due to a ruptured ACL picked up on international duty.
In terms of who will feature, Keith Andrews is highly likely to switch to a back five, as he has done for recent tougher games, very much a Thomas Frank-esque move.
So, despite being very dangerous at West Ham on Monday, Dango Ouattara is likely to begin the night on the bench, with Keane Lewis-Potter back in at wing-back.
Brentford predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (5-3-2): Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, van den Berg, Ajer, Lewis-Potter; Henderson, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard; Schade, Thiago.
Brentford player to watch vs Liverpool
Both Sepp van den Berg and Caoimhín Kelleher will come up against their former clubs, but it will be a particularly peculiar occasion for Jordan Henderson. He made 492 appearances for Liverpool, only Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard have made more for the club in the Premier League, but can he now harm his former employers?
Liverpool team news
Having been in action in Frankfurt just 72 hours ago, Arne Slot faces plenty of selection headaches.
Jeremie Frimpong was forced off early due to a hamstring injury, while Alexander Isak had to be withdrawn at half time due to a groin issue, thereby surely making him a doubt. Elsewhere, Ryan Gravenberch didn't even travel to Germany due to a twisted ankle sustained against Man United.
The headline team news pre-kick off at Waldstadion was the fact that Mohamed Salah was on the bench, but he'll surely return to the lineup, as will midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
Andy Robertson got the nod at left-back in the Champions League, so will he continue to keep Miloš Kerkez on the bench? Lastly, Giorgi Mamardashvili will start a fourth match in a row in goal, due to Alisson's continued absence after suffering a hamstring injury in İstanbul.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Brentford: (4-3-3): Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Salah, Ekitiké, Gakpo.

Mohamed Salah has only netted three times so far this season, but has bagged six goals in seven career appearances against Brentford, so will the Egyptian spark into life in West London?
Brentford vs Liverpool prediction
This Saturday night clash under the lights promises to deliver fireworks, but we are, just, backing Liverpool to collect all three points, albeit it certainly will not be easy: Brentford 1-2 Liverpool.
