Why you should back Liverpool
The Reds were derailed by major injuries last season but managed to finish third, and they are healthy again. Elite defender Virgil Van Dijk was one of the major losses, and Joe Gomez and Joel Matip also were absent from the back line. The Reds have yielded just one goal this season, in a draw with fellow EPL heavyweight Chelsea, and have allowed the fourth-fewest shots (52) and shots on target (15) in the league. Brentford has the second-fewest shots on target (11) in the league, and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is one of the best in the world.
Liverpool also peppers its opponents with shots, leading the league with 125 and putting 38 on net. It is the only team in the league with more than 100 total shots. Those attempts have resulted in 12 goals, with Mohamed Salah (four) and Sadio Mane (three) leading the way. Salah was second in the EPL with 22 last season. Fabinho has returned to his familiar holding role in midfield and has helped the Reds lead the league in possession at 67.8 percent.
Why you should back Brentford
Brentford’s fans will be buzzing as the team plays its biggest game since 1947. It opened the season with a surprise 2-0 win against Arsenal and comes in off a 7-0 drubbing of League Two foe Oldham in an EFL Cup game on Tuesday. Marcus Forss, who has played just five minutes in league play, scored four times. Brentford’s last league game was a 2-0 win last Saturday against Wolverhampton despite playing a man down for 26 minutes. Brentford has not played a team of Liverpool’s quality, but the team is brimming with confidence and will be dreaming big.
Mathias Jensen starred in midfield for the Bees as they held for 73 percent of the League Cup match and outshot Oldham 24-5. Newcomer Yoane Wissa scored twice in that match, but Ivan Toney scored his second goal against Wolves and should continue as the top option. Only Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City have allowed fewer goals than Brentford, so the Reds could face a challenge, and goalkeeper David Raya has saved 11 of 13 shots on target.
