Liverpool, Anfield

Liverpool welcome Brentford to Anfield on the final day of the Premier League season, with Champions League qualification still hanging in the balance.

The Reds have won just three of their last nine league outings and need a positive result to secure a top-four finish after a frustrating campaign.

Brentford sit ninth and remain in the hunt for European football, though just one win from their last nine fixtures has left them with plenty of ground to make up.

Liverpool have won five of the last six meetings between these sides, and Brentford have lost all four top-flight trips to Anfield without scoring.

Liverpool vs Brentford Talking Points

Brentford's former Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher returns to Anfield, adding a compelling subplot to an already loaded final day. The Bees need results elsewhere to go their way for European qualification, but their stubborn defensive shape and Igor Thiago's threat on the counter could make this a far tighter affair than Liverpool would like. On the other side, Alexander Isak's relentless shot volume against this opponent gives the Reds' attacking line real teeth, and with Liverpool pressing hard for Champions League football, expect them to carry the game to Brentford from the off.

Liverpool vs Brentford Form

Liverpool's form has been patchy, with three wins from nine league games, though Anfield remains a stubborn fortress. Alexander Isak has been a consistent attacking threat, attempting three or more shots in each of his last three appearances against Brentford, and is firmly expected to lead the line here.

Brentford have found wins hard to come by, picking up just one victory from their last nine Premier League outings. Igor Thiago has carried the attacking burden with 22 league goals this season. Dango Ouattara has been lively too, attempting three or more shots in four of his last five appearances.

Liverpool vs Brentford Prediction & Best Bets

Our prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Brentford. The Reds need the points and have the firepower to get the job done at Anfield, though Brentford's attacking threat through Igor Thiago makes a clean sheet unlikely. A Liverpool win with both teams scoring looks the most compelling outcome.

Best Bets

Alexander Isak to score anytime at 29/20. Isak has scored in all four of his last four Premier League appearances against Brentford and carries the biggest goal threat on the pitch, making him a strong pick in the anytime goalscorer market.

Igor Thiago to score anytime at 19/10. Thiago has 22 Premier League goals this season and Brentford will need him to deliver if they are to stay in the hunt for European qualification, making him a solid pick at a decent price.

Liverpool vs Brentford Bet Builder

This four-leg bet builder combines a Liverpool win with both teams scoring and shot activity from the two main attacking threats on either side.

Liverpool have won all four of their home Premier League fixtures against Brentford in their recent head-to-head record, and with Champions League qualification on the line, Arne Slot's side will be motivated to take all three points on their own patch.

Both teams to score is supported by Brentford averaging 27 or more total shots in each of their last three outings, underlining their attacking intent even against stronger opposition.

Mohamed Salah has registered one or more shots on target in all six of his previous appearances against Brentford, making this a reliable inclusion.

Igor Thiago has been Brentford's most dangerous outlet all season, and his shot-on-target rate in recent Premier League outings makes over 0.5 shots on target a logical final leg.

At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 4/1 and is as short as 3/1 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £10 from best to worst price.
