Robbie Savage anticipates a challenging match for Liverpool as they face Brentford on Saturday (February 17), but he remains confident in Jürgen Klopp’s side to secure the win.
Liverpool, currently leading the league table, seek to extend their advantage to five points with a victory at the Gtech Community Stadium. Despite a recent defeat to Arsenal, they demonstrated resilience with a convincing 3-1 triumph over Burnley last weekend.
In the reverse fixture at Anfield, Liverpool secured a 3-0 win against Brentford.
However, Savage acknowledges Brentford’s improved performance since then, particularly with Ivan Toney’s return to the team.
Highlighting Brentford’s recent home struggles in the Premier League, Savage emphasizes Liverpool’s strong form with nine wins in their last 12 matches across all competitions. While admitting it’s a challenging prediction, he predicts a 3-1 victory for Liverpool, anticipating both teams to score.
Liverpool’s stellar season under Klopp’s guidance sees them atop the league table, holding a narrow lead over Manchester City and Arsenal in second and third place, respectively.
