Brentford is set to face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday in the final round of Premier League fixtures. The visitors must win to stand any chance of securing continental football, while the hosts need only a draw to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. Liverpool entered the season as defending champions and flexed their financial muscle in the summer transfer window, breaking the record for the highest spending by a Premier League club in a single window after splashing over £400 million. However, what has followed has been nothing short of disappointing, with the Reds now set for their lowest Premier League points tally since the 2015-16 campaign while also ending the season without silverware. In contrast, Brentford were tipped by many to struggle this season following a mass exodus last summer that included the departures of head coach Thomas Frank and top scorers Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. New boss Keith Andrews has masterminded a very commendable campaign, with the Bees looking to finish in the top half for a second consecutive campaign. Dango Ouattara's brace last weekend secured a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace, marking Brentford's sixth stalemate in their last nine matches. The head-to-head record between the two teams shows that Brentford could do the double over Liverpool this weekend for the first time in Premier League history. Liverpool has conceded 52 league goals this season, their highest-ever concession tally in a 38-game Premier League season. No side have drawn fewer games on the road in the Premier League this season than Brentford. The Reds are backing themselves to come out on top, with their home advantage likely to prove decisive against a Brentford side that are winless in their last five away matches. The prediction is Liverpool 2-1 Brentford. Betting tips include Liverpool to win, over 2.5 goals, and both teams to score. Brentford's campaign has been commendable, but they face a tough test at Anfield. The Bees will need to be at their best to secure a win and potentially qualify for European football. With the season finale approaching, Brentford is ready to give it their all and make a lasting impression. The match is set to be an exciting one, with both teams having something to play for. The outcome will be crucial in determining the final standings in the Premier League. Brentford's players, including Dango Ouattara, will need to be in top form to secure a win. The team's manager, Keith Andrews, will be looking to make tactical decisions to outmaneuver Liverpool. The stage is set for an intense match, with the crowd at Anfield expected to be electric. The final whistle will bring an end to the season, but the outcome of this match will have a lasting impact on both teams.
