Brentford’s defence has been resilient having shipped only 2 goals this season which is the 2nd best in the league.
Frank’s side would be looking to make it 3 wins in a row but will need to play out of their skins against a skilled Liverpool side.
On the other hand, the Reds have been emphatic at the start of the season and come into this one with a four-match winning streak.
In their previous clash, Liverpool beat Palace with goals from Mané, Salah and Keita.
