The Reds are set to host the Bees at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, with kick-off scheduled for 4 PM BST. A draw in this encounter would be sufficient to guarantee their Champions League spot.

Here are 17 key facts and figures to consider ahead of the match, compiled from insights by LFC statistician Ged Rea and Opta:

• In 24 competitive clashes between these two clubs, Liverpool has emerged victorious 15 times, while Brentford has claimed five wins. Notably, the Reds have found the net in all but one of these encounters.
• A trend in nine of their last 12 meetings across all competitions shows that at least one side managed to score three goals.
• Liverpool suffered a 3-2 defeat in the reverse fixture this season. However, the club has historically never lost consecutive league matches to the Bees.
• Should the Reds score two goals in this match, they will achieve a milestone of 150 Premier League goals under the management of Arne Slot.
• Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is on the verge of making his 150th career appearance for Liverpool.
• Mohamed Salah has been a prolific scorer in this fixture, with seven goals in eight matches against Brentford. He boasts an impressive average of a goal every 95 minutes in these games.
• Salah could become the first player since Sadio Mane in 2020 to score the Reds’ final goal of the season for two consecutive campaigns.
• This match marks Andy Robertson’s final appearance for Liverpool. His inaugural goal in English football was scored against Brentford while playing for Hull City, contributing to a 2-0 victory at Griffin Park.
• Virgil van Dijk has completed 90 minutes in 74 of Liverpool’s 75 Premier League matches under Slot, including every one of the 37 matches this season. If he plays the full 90 minutes in this fixture, at 34 years and 320 days old, he would become the oldest outfield player to complete 100% of available minutes in a Premier League campaign, surpassing John Terry’s record from 2014-2015 (34 years and 168 days).
• Van Dijk has accumulated 4,851 minutes on the pitch across all competitions this season, marking the highest total for a Liverpool outfield player in a single season since Sami Hyypia’s 5,205 minutes in 2005-2006.
• The Reds have maintained an impressive record in their final league match of the season, remaining unbeaten in the last 10 campaigns (seven wins, three draws) since their 6-1 loss to Stoke City in 2014-2015. When concluding a league campaign at home, they are undefeated in 18 matches (15 wins, three draws) since a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in 1988-89.
• Brentford has secured only one victory in their last nine Premier League outings (six draws, two defeats), a 3-0 triumph over West Ham United earlier this month.
• The Bees have won their final match in only one of their four previous Premier League campaigns (one draw, two defeats), notably defeating Manchester City 1-0 in 2023.
• Between 1936 and 1937, Brentford enjoyed an unbeaten streak in their first three away league matches against Liverpool (one win, two draws). However, they have since lost all six of their subsequent visits to Anfield without scoring a single goal.
• Igor Thiago has been responsible for 41% of Brentford’s Premier League goals this season (22/54). This currently represents the highest proportion of goals scored by a single player in a campaign since Harry Kane’s 43% for Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 (30/70).
• Keith Andrews, who took over from Thomas Frank as the Bees’ head coach last summer, faced Liverpool five times as a player. He scored one goal during a 2-1 defeat for Blackburn Rovers in February 2010.
• Brentford is currently positioned to achieve its best-ever result in the Premier League. This marks their fifth campaign in the top flight, having previously finished 13th, ninth, 16th, and 10th since gaining promotion in 2021.
