Prediction: Brentford 1-3 Liverpool

The return of Mo Salah and Alisson Backer is a huge boost for the Klopp boys. Liverpool smashed Chelsea FC without Salah, thanks to the brilliant performance from their attackers. Nunez, Diaz, and Jota are in a good rhythm and can bring an early lead against Brentford. Meanwhile, the Bees are not in their best form, losing four of their last six meetings. Therefore, we expect Liverpool to win this match and extend their lead at the top of the table.
