Why you should support Liverpool
The Reds go into Sunday's game in fine form, having won four and drawn one of their five pre-season friendlies, including victories over Arsenal and Manchester United. That form continued into their opening game of the season, when they dominated the second half to win 2-0 at Ipswich Town. Liverpool have outscored their opponents in their last six games by a score of 10-2.
Additionally, the Reds have the upper hand in head-to-head matches against Brentford, with Liverpool winning four times and drawing once in the six meetings between the two teams, including a 4-1 win at Brentford in February. In those six matches, the Reds have outscored the Bees 12-4. Find out which team to pick here.
Why you should support Brentford
The Bees have a proven goalscorer in Yoann Wissa. The 27-year-old midfielder led the team and ranked 15th in goals (12) in the Premier League last season. In Brentford's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, Wissa scored a rebound in the second half to break a 1-1 score.
Wissa and the Bees will face a Liverpool side that is lacking a world-class defensive midfielder. Liverpool attempted to sign midfielder Martin Zubimendi this summer but was ultimately rebuffed. Since then, the club has been rumoured to be other suitors, but nothing concrete has emerged yet. Find out which team to pick here.
