On Sunday, May 24, Liverpool face Brentford in the final round of the Premier League season. The match at Anfield is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 Kyiv time.
The current campaign has been challenging for Arne Slot’s side. With 59 points from 37 games, the Reds sit in 5th place. This final fixture is crucial for their ambitions, as Liverpool must avoid defeat to ensure qualification for next season's Champions League.
Liverpool's recent form has been inconsistent, with only two wins in their last six matches and a failure to keep a clean sheet in that same period. Their cup runs concluded with a quarter-final exit in the FA Cup and a defeat to PSG in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Brentford occupy 9th place with 52 points, exceeding early-season expectations. While they remain two points adrift of the Europa League qualification spots, their recent form is also struggling, having secured only one victory in their previous ten matches.
Historically, Liverpool have held the upper hand in this fixture, winning four of the last five meetings between the two clubs.
