Billy “TheBee” Grant catches up with Neil from The Anfield Wrap ahead of Brentford’s big clash with Liverpool under the lights this Saturday (8pm kick-off).

The two dive deep into both clubs’ seasons so far - from Liverpool’s strong start to their losing streak including that recent blip against Man United and compare it to Brentford’s interesting start to the season.

There’s a snake competition - Issak versus Wissa and as we look at Liverpool's transfer window we ask should Liverpool have cashed in on Mo Salah?

They also look at the bigger picture - Arsenal sitting top of the Premier League, the long grind of a nine-month season, and whether the Reds can truly go the distance this year.

Billy flips the focus to Brentford - with Neil giving his outsider’s view on how the Bees are shaping up, where Liverpool might be vulnerable, and which players could make the difference on both sides.

Plus a nod to the Liverpool links in the Brentford squad — Henderson, Kelleher, Van de Berg, Carvalho

They round off with match predictions, key players to watch, a quick preview of the Steam Packet pre-match quiz ands the question - If Brentford actually beat Liverpool on Saturday, will they still win the league?

Can Brentford sting Liverpool again? Or will Slot's men bump start their title charge?
