Their latest defeat has pushed Liverpool further behind in the top four race. The Reds are currently placed sixth in the Premier League table with 28 points from 17 games.
Liverpool will begin their FA Cup title defence against a struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers side on Saturday night. It will be an interesting contest between two sides that are not currently enjoying the best of forms. Liverpool started the season poorly but seemed to have found their rhythm in recent games. However, Brentford brought an end to their good streak with a shock 3-1 defeat earlier this week. In all honesty, that result was coming for Liverpool. Despite going on a good winning run, Jurgen Klopp’s side kept giving opportunities away to the opponents, which might be a big worry for the Anfield faithful.
