Brentford are looking to bounce back in the league following a surprising 1-0 defeat to Plymouth in the FA Cup. Despite this setback, they showed resilience in a recent match against Manchester City, managing a 2-2 draw after being behind, which could boost their confidence before facing Liverpool.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot could make changes for Saturday’s Premier League trip to Brentford. The Reds are gearing up for another difficult away journey and remain in control of the title race despite Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

De Bruyne has created five chances so far, the first time he has created at least five chances in a match in the Premier League since facing Brentford on 14th September 2024. Something for City to be thrilled about on an evening which has otherwise been quite frustrating so far.
