Away to Brentford on Saturday, Brentford in the top flight after 74 years, still early in the season they already had good results. So far they lost one drew two and won the rest. They don't concede too many goals also .It is not going to be easy for Liverpool, but I Believe Liverpool are going to be too strong for them. My prediction: Brentford 0: 2 Liverpool Other fixtures and predictions: Saturday 25th September 2021: Chelsea v Manchester City 2:2 Manchester United v Aston Villa 3:1 Everton v Norwich City 2:0 Leeds United v West Ham United 2:2 Leicester City v Burnley 2:0 Watford v Newcastle United 3:2 Brentford v Liverpool 2:0 Saturday 26th September 2021.

LAWRO HAS GONE FOR COMFORTABLE AWAY WIN 0:2 Brentford v Liverpool (17:30 BST) This is Liverpool's first visit to Brentford in the league since 1947 and there will be a great atmosphere to welcome them. The Bees will be lively on the pitch too - Ivan Toney does a great job and they have got goals in them, which gives them a chance in games - or most games anyway. I just think Liverpool will be too strong for them. Jurgen Klopp has been rotating his team regularly but it does not seem to make much difference to results - he generally gets it right when he leaves people out. Lawro's prediction: 0-2 Friction's prediction: Liverpool are looking a bit more like their old selves but I don't think it will be easy for them. 0-1
SKY SPORTS HAVE GONE FOR AWAY WIN TOO: Brentford vs Liverpool, Saturday 5.30pm, live on Sky Sports Brentford are a very smart club. The decision to base their season of survival on clean sheets rather than playing the free-flowing football that got them to the Premier League is one Norwich must be wishing they had adopted. In their five fixtures, Brentford have conceded just two goals, a statistic backed up by their expected goals against figure of 3.92 - which marks them down as the second best defence in the Premier League. A thorough test awaits here though. Liverpool have their swagger back but the 4/9 with Sky Bet for an away win doesn't get me excited. The 6/4 for a Liverpool win to nil is a little more tempting, although it could take time for the Reds to break down this well-organised outfit. Brentford are being rated too highly in terms of their ability to restrict Liverpool getting shots away though. This has led to Sky Bet offering very generous Liverpool shot lines with 18 or more being allowed to be punted at 7/2. A fantastic price. In their last 14 Premier League matches, Liverpool - full of verve and energy - have averaged 21.36 shots per 90 minutes in that period. This season, they are working at a 25 shots per 90 minutes ratio with 125 being posted in their five games. They are just the second side since 2003/04 to have 100+ shots in their opening five games of a season - with Chelsea having 138 in 2009/10. To give you a flavour of the value being offered here, Liverpool have had 16 or more shots in 13 of their last 14 Premier League encounters. Let's not forget, Brentford are a newly promoted team and - naturally - there's going to be plenty of fear factor on show, taking on one of the best teams in Europe. Yes, they have restricted teams like Brighton, Aston Villa and Wolves to minimal efforts on goal but this is Liverpool we're talking about. Jurgen Klopp's men are a different level and a relentless beast in terms of suffocating teams when going forward. I'd be very surprised if they don't clear the 16 or more shots line and punters should also respect the 21+ (11/2 with Sky Bet) and 25+ (22/1 with Sky Bet). That 22/1 line would have won in three of Liverpool's five Premier League fixtures this season. SCORE PREDICTION: 0-2
