James Murphy has picked out his favourite bet builder tip for the Liverpool vs Brentford game.
Below we've provided reasoning for each part of the bet builder, with the option to back each individual leg directly through oddschecker at best price.
Trent Alexander-Arnold To Have 2+ Shots
I’m backing Liverpool to have a number of shots here (they scored 7 goals in the league against Brentford last season), and a possible source of those shots is their right back.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to continue in that position for Liverpool, and will look to get forward whenever he can, in tandem with their talisman, Mo Salah.
Trent finished the 2023/24 Premier League season with 14 shots in his last 4 matches, and had at least one shot in 12 of his last 14 league matches, only failing to register a shot against Arsenal away and Chelsea at home.
Even as Arne Slot continues to tinker with this Liverpool team, his tactic simply has to allow for his right back to get forward at every opportunity, where he is strongest.
Yoane Wissa To Have 1+ Shots On Target
With Ivan Toney absent as he looks to engineer a route out of Brentford, Yoane Wissa will likely continue up front for Brentford.
The forward’s heat map showed him pick up positions all over the pitch against Crystal Palace, and he has the experience to find space even against a robust Liverpool defence away from home.
Wissa has managed a shot on target in six of his last seven away league matches, and in ten of his last fourteen league matches overall.
He also ranked highest for shots on target for Brentford last season, largely due to Ivan Toney’s lengthy absences, managing 26 shots on target overall at a rate of 0.93 per 90.
Luis Diaz To Commit A Foul
Arne Slot elected for a front three of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Mo Salah against Ipswich, and if that is his chosen trio once more, then I see value in Luis Diaz to commit a foul.
The Colombian committed the most fouls of anyone in the Liverpool squad last season, with 54 in the league at a rate of 1.84 fouls per 90.
He has committed a foul in five of his last six home league matches, and in nine of his last thirteen league appearances overall.
Diaz will be up against the likes of Mbuemo, who won 1.93 fouls per 90 in the league last season, and Mads Roerslev, who was fouled twice in his last match against Crystal Palace.
