Roy Keane and Steven Gerrard have both predicted a 1-1 draw when Liverpool visit Brentford on Saturday, citing the Reds’ injury problems and tight turnaround.
In the latest Stick to Football episode, Gerrard said: “I think in the current circumstances with what Liverpool have available and the injuries, I’m gonna go for 1-1.” Keane echoed that verdict, saying: “No way are Brentford getting beaten at home by Liverpool, with all their problems. 1-1 is not a bad shout.”
Liverpool are without Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak and Dominik Szoboszlai through injury, and face another short turnaround after their 6-3 win away to LASK in the Champions League three days after losing 3-0 to Manchester City. Brentford, fourth in the table and unbeaten, will have had a full week to prepare.
Both are experienced voices, but these are just predictions ahead of the match. Iraola has already challenged his side to embrace the hectic schedule.
