Brentford host Liverpool with both sides close in table
Fourth-placed Brentford welcome ninth-placed Liverpool to the Gtech Community Stadium with just one point separating the sides after six games.
Brentford sit 4th on 10 points after six games following a strong start to the campaign. The Bees are unbeaten in their last five league outings (W2, D3), a sequence highlighted by a 3-0 home victory over Chelsea and an emphatic 3-0 win against Tottenham. They have spread their output effectively across the squad, with nine different goalscorers already finding the net in the top flight.
Liverpool sit 9th on 9 points after six games, still finding their feet in the final third under new boss Andoni Iraola. While the Reds have claimed shutouts against Ipswich (2-0) and Bournemouth (1-0), they have struggled to generate high-quality chances, creating a league-low nine big chances so far.
