"Liverpool had suffered four straight defeats across all competitions - their worst run since 2014 - including a damaging 2-1 home loss to Manchester United last weekend. Despite an eye-catching £450m summer outlay, defensive lapses continue to undermine their progress, with 18 goals conceded in 13 matches this season. Their midweek comeback in Frankfurt eased some pressure, as Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai all found the net."
"each of their last three league defeats came via goals in the final 10 minutes. No top-flight side has ever lost four in a row in that fashion. Team news for Brentford v Liverpool Brentford will be without Antoni Milambo (ACL) and Paris Maghoma (thigh), while Aaron Hickey faces a late fitness test after missing the West Ham match. Keane Lewis-Potter is pushing to return at left wing-back, and ex-Liverpool pair Caoimhin Kelleher and Jordan Henderson are both set to start."
Liverpool travel to Brentford after a 5-1 Champions League win that provided a boost following a difficult domestic run. The team endured four consecutive defeats across all competitions, their worst sequence since 2014, and have conceded 18 goals in 13 matches. The midweek comeback in Frankfurt saw multiple scorers and eased some pressure. Liverpool sit third in the Premier League with 15 points from eight games. A worrying pattern is late-game fragility, with the last three league losses coming from goals in the final 10 minutes. Injury concerns include Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) and Alexander Isak (groin). Brentford will be without Antoni Milambo and Paris Maghoma, with Aaron Hickey doubtful; Igor Thiago leads their scoring.
