Liverpool, under Jürgen Klopp, travels to the Gtech Community Stadium hoping to secure a win that could ignite talks of a Champions League berth.
The Reds head to Brentford in a Premier League clash dated the 19th of the season, aiming to extend a run built on momentum after a 2-1 victory over Leicester. That win marked the fourth consecutive league win, lifting Klopp’s side to sixth in the table with 28 points, four adrift of the UEFA Champions League cutoff and 15 behind league leaders Arsenal. Brentford, managed by Thomas Frank, earned a 2-0 victory at West Ham in their most recent outing, snapping a recent dip and restoring confidence after a late equalizer against Tottenham. The Bees sit in tenth place after 23 fixtures.

- Brentford have not beaten Liverpool in nine meetings across all competitions (D2 L7), a stretch that includes a 2-1 home victory for Brentford back in November 1938.
- Since October 1983, Liverpool have netted at least three goals in each of their last five matches with Brentford in all competitions. Only Fulham, with a longer streak of six, have done so more often in head-to-heads stretching back to the late 1980s.
- Liverpool boast a remarkable away-run in London, scoring in 26 straight Premier League visits to the capital while accumulating 56 goals in that span since August 2018. It stands as the longest scoring streak by a non-London side in league play outside the city since the competition’s inception in 1888.
- Brentford have started the calendar year by winning their opening league match in three of the last three years, a feat they had achieved only once prior to 2021.
- In eight recent calendar years, Liverpool have claimed their first league win twice, beating Burnley 2-1 in 2018 and Sheffield United 2-0 in 2020.
- Brentford have drawn their last three home league games, nearing the club’s long-standing home form benchmark. The Bees last hosted four consecutive league matches at home in March–April 2021.
- Across all competitions, Liverpool have won 23 of 49 January matches under Klopp, a win rate around 47 percent. The winter month has been a slightly tougher period, with more losses recorded than in any other month during his tenure.
- Darwin Núñez has fired 23 shots in his first five Premier League away games, a rate roughly one attempt every 17 minutes. Only Santi Cazorla has posted a similar opening run for Arsenal in 2012, though Cazorla found the net more often early on.
- Mohamed Salah has a strong London-Merseyside scoring record, with 19 goals in 38 starts in the capital and Merseyside combined. He could become one of a small number of players to surpass 20 goals in both regions, matching a benchmark set by Louis Saha in the past.
- Salah has contributed to four goals in his last two Premier League away fixtures (three goals, one assist) and sits near the top of Liverpool’s all-time away scorers in the league. Another strike could see him pull clear in the tally of away goals for the club.
- Ivan Toney has been involved in 16 goals in his last 19 Premier League appearances at Brentford Community Stadium (12 goals, 4 assists). Since Brentford moved to the venue in 2020-21, Toney has scored 29 times at the ground across all competitions, more than any other player.
