Sports Innovation previews the Premier League match between Liverpool and Brentford and offers team stats, betting tips and the latest odds.
Liverpool hope to get their groove back for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Brentford at Anfield.
Without Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, the wasteful Reds were held to a 0-0 draw by 10-man Arsenal in the first leg of last week’s EFL Cup semi-final tie.
They hope to do better here, with second-place in the Premier League table up for grabs. Brentford, who are in 14th in the standings, head to Anfield on the back of a humbling 4-1 defeat to Southampton.
