165 Liverpool have achieved a lot under Jurgen Klopp – but a first could happen under the German today as Brentford await.
The Bees welcome the Reds to the Gtech Community Stadium as Thomas Frank – who has actually been linked with the upcoming vacancy at Anfield – goes head to head with the man he may replace.
So, what could Liverpool do for the first time under Jurgen Klopp today? Let’s take a look…
Liverpool could achieve a first under Jurgen Klopp
Well, to our surprise, Liverpool have never actually won at Brentford under the 56-year-old.
Since the Bees were promoted in May 2021, they have managed to record a 3-3 draw against the Reds on their home turf, as well as a 3-1 win over Liverpool.
In fact, Liverpool have not actually won a league game at Brentford since 1938 when a 3-1 win was secured in the old Division One.
Of course, World War Two taking place – and the fact Liverpool were not in the same league as Brentford for over 70 years – must be taken into account, although it is an interesting statistic nonetheless.
This will be Klopp’s last chance to secure a league victory at Brentford before his departure this summer, so hopefully, Liverpool can get the job done for the man from Stuttgart.
Liverpool up against it
If Liverpool are to secure a first league win at Brentford since 1938 today, it will have to be done without a few key players.
Klopp is missing Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alisson Becker with all four suffering injuries.
There is – at least – a return for Mohamed Salah, who has resumed training since coming back from the Africa Cup of Nations and is in contention to start.
Hopefully, Liverpool can pick up all three points, and give Klopp a maiden league win at Brentford before he leaves this summer.
Xabi Alonso is apparently keen to replace the German when he does depart Merseyside at the end of the season, with the Reds said to be preparing an offer for the Spaniard, according to Foot Mercato.
