The last time the two sides met was on 12 November last year, a match that ended in a 3-0 win for Liverpool on matchday 12 of the 2023/24 Premier League. Of the last five meetings between the two sides, three have been won by Klopp's side and one by Brentford, while they have drawn the remaining game.

Liverpool won well away to Brentford, who did not make it easy for them and showed they can hurt them. Darwin Nunez made the most of his chance to put his possession-hungry side, who were hit by injuries to Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota, both of whom were forced off the pitch, in front.
