The Reds are set to host the Bees at Anfield on Sunday afternoon (kick-off at 4 PM BST), with a draw sufficient to secure a top-five finish and qualification for the 2026-27 Champions League campaign.

Here are 17 crucial pre-match facts and figures to keep in mind:

Historically, in 24 competitive encounters between these clubs, Liverpool has emerged victorious 15 times, while Brentford has claimed five wins. The Reds have found the net in all but one of these fixtures.

A high-scoring trend has been observed in recent matchups, with at least one team netting three goals in nine of the last 12 meetings across all competitions.

Although Liverpool suffered a 3-2 defeat in the reverse fixture, they have never previously lost consecutive league matches against the Bees.

Should the Reds score twice in this upcoming game, they will reach a milestone of 150 Premier League goals under the leadership of Arne Slot.

Alexis Mac Allister is on the verge of making his 150th career appearance for Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah boasts an exceptional record against Brentford, having scored seven goals in eight matches – more than any other player in the history of this fixture. He averages a goal every 95 minutes against them. Salah also has the opportunity to become the first player since Sadio Mane in 2020 to score the Reds’ final goal of the season for two consecutive campaigns.

This match marks Andy Robertson’s final appearance in a Liverpool shirt. Interestingly, his inaugural goal in English football came against Brentford while playing for Hull City, in a 2-0 victory at Griffin Park.

Virgil van Dijk has played the full 90 minutes in 74 of Liverpool’s 75 Premier League matches under Slot, including all 37 this season. If he completes 90 minutes in this fixture at 34 years and 320 days old, he would become the oldest outfield player to have played every possible minute in a Premier League campaign, surpassing John Terry’s record from 2014-2015 (34 years and 168 days).

Van Dijk has accumulated 4,851 minutes on the pitch across all competitions this season, marking the highest recorded total for a Liverpool outfield player in a single season since Sami Hyypia’s 5,205 minutes in 2005-2006.

The Reds have not lost their final league match in the past 10 seasons (seven wins, three draws) since their 6-1 defeat to Stoke City in 2014-2015. When concluding a league campaign at home, they remain undefeated in 18 matches (15 wins, three draws) since a 2-0 loss to Arsenal in 1988-89.

Brentford’s recent form shows only one victory in their last nine Premier League outings (six draws, two defeats), a 3-0 win against West Ham United earlier this month.

The Bees have secured a win in their final match in one of their four previous Premier League campaigns (one draw, two defeats), notably beating Manchester City 1-0 in 2023.

Between 1936 and 1937, Brentford enjoyed an unbeaten run in their first three away league matches against Liverpool (one win, two draws). However, they have since lost all six of their subsequent visits to Anfield without scoring a single goal.

Igor Thiago has been a significant contributor to Brentford’s Premier League goal tally this season, scoring 41% of their goals (22 out of 54). This currently represents the highest share of goals scored by a single player in a campaign since Harry Kane’s 43% for Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 (30 out of 70).

Keith Andrews, who took over from Thomas Frank as the Bees’ head coach last summer, faced Liverpool five times as a player, scoring once in a 2-1 defeat for Blackburn Rovers in February 2010.

Brentford is on track to achieve their best-ever Premier League finish. This marks their fifth campaign in the top flight, having previously finished 13th, ninth, 16th, and 10th since gaining promotion in 2021.
