As Liverpool prepare for their trip to Brentford on Saturday evening, we take a closer look at the head-to-head and form stats before the big game…
Having lost just one of their first three Premier League meetings with Liverpool (W1 D1), Brentford have now lost each of their last five against them.
Liverpool have scored at least once in all eight of their Premier League games against Brentford, their second best 100% scoring rate against an opponent after QPR (14).
Liverpool have lost each of their last four Premier League away games against London sides – they last lost five consecutive league visits to the capital between March and November 1970.
Liverpool have lost five of their last eight away games in the Premier League (W3), as many as their previous 43 beforehand (W23 D15). The Reds could lose three consecutive league games on the road for the first time since January/February 2023 – a run that included a 3-1 defeat at Brentford, their only Premier League loss to the Bees.
Liverpool have lost their last three Premier League games, as many as they had in their previous 39 (W27 D9). They last lost four in a row in February 2021, while they last had a 4+ game losing streak within their first nine games of a league season in 1993-94.
Liverpool have lost each of their last three Premier League games thanks to goals scored in the final 10 minutes of games, and having equalised in each match. No team has ever lost four in a row thanks to goals scored in the final 10 minutes, while only Crystal Palace in November 2016 have lost four in a row having drawn level each time.
Though he’s still waiting for his first Premier League goal for Liverpool, Alexander Isak has scored in all four of his appearances against Brentford. No player has a better 100% scoring rate against an opponent in the competition. However, a groin strain picked up at eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night could rule him out of this one.
