Thomas Frank admits Liverpool are favourites to win the Premier League, but not ruling out surprises
Introduction to the match: Brentford manager Thomas Frank has admitted that Liverpool are "pretty comfortable" favourites to win the Premier League title, but he remains hesitant to rule out a surprise in today’s match. The Bees host the league leaders, Liverpool, after salvaging a dramatic draw against Manchester City on Tuesday night.
Liverpool's current situation: Liverpool come into the game with a four-point lead over second-placed Arsenal and a game in hand. However, Frank believes that Brentford, currently in 11th place, have the potential to pull off an upset against the leaders.
Thomas Frank’s statements: "Being the favourite doesn’t mean you’re going to win the title," Frank said. "I understand why Arne Slot is downplaying it, saying take it game by game. We would all do the same."
What Liverpool needs to do: "All they can do is what they’ve been doing so far, which is winning against the team in front of them, and then hoping it’s enough at the end of the season, but this is the best league in the world, it’s extremely difficult, but they are favourites."
Liverpool’s performance: Frank added: "I think Liverpool have been fantastic this season. I think they’ve been the best-performing team, or at least the best-performing team this season. They’re the best in the league, quite comfortably."
Liverpool’s favouritism: "They are favourites to win the title, and they’ve had a minimum of injuries. Of course, they’ve had some, but maybe just one or two, and they’ve never really been hit by that."
