Prediction Brentford vs Liverpool English Premier League
We say: Brentford 1-2 Liverpool
Brentford’s attacking bite would certainly lose a good part of its effectiveness if Toni wasn’t made vulnerable from the start. But Leicester proved how easy it is to breach Liverpool’s high line at times – Mbeumo and Wisa could certainly exploit.
