Last season's trip to Brentford brought about one of the most memorable wins in Liverpool's title charge, as Darwin Nunez emerged from the bench to score twice in injury time to underline the team's title credentials. Next weekend's trip to West London will be equally as important in the context of this season's struggles, and Arne Slot's players will come up against a familiar face in the clash.

Jordan Henderson's return to the Premier League with Brentford over the summer raised eyebrows, but he has been a revelation for Keith Andrews' side. Henderson lined up for the Bees on Monday as they won 2-0 away to West Ham, and boss Andrews praised the England midfielder as he claimed that Brentford's performance against the Hammers was its best of the season.

He's brought in his experience." On whether the win was Brentford's best display of the campaign to date, Andrews answered: "Yeah I think so. We've shown parts of games and good results but performance-wise this is the most complete." Henderson may be a Liverpool legend but he is also a fierce competitor, and there will be no room for sentiment when he comes up against the team he used to captain this weekend.
