Two surging teams clash on Saturday when Brentford hosts Liverpool in what promises to be a very entertaining Premier League Matchday 6 game. Brentford is coming off an impressive 2-0 road win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday while Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at home last Saturday. Brentford is in ninth place in the Premier League standings with eight points in five games while Liverpool leads the Premier League with 13 points in five games as we go to press on September 18.
The player to watch in this game is Mohamed Salah. Former Liverpool winger Luis Garcia recently backed Salah to improve his goalscoring record at Liverpool further this season: “He is becoming more and more important. He knows where he has to be. I think we can see a different Salah at the moment.” Salah has been on fire, with three goals and two assists in four Premier League games this season and he can be a difference-maker on Sunday. Let’s take a closer look at where the value is at in this matchup.
