Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are out to cement their spot as Manchester City’s chief title rivals when they welcome Brentford to Anfield this afternoon.
Chelsea’s defeat at the Etihad yesterday left them 13 points off the pace but Liverpool can cut their deficit to eight points by winning both of their games in hand over City.
That starts today with a rematch of the epic 3-3 draw shared between the Reds and Bees in West London earlier this season.
Thomas Frank’s side have adapted to Premier League life nicely and can climb as high as tenth with an unlikely three points on Merseyside.
But a humbling at Southampton in midweek means Brentford have lost three of their last four in the league, while Liverpool are on a run of three league games without a win themselves.
