Liverpool are on the charge for Champions League qualification having won their last five Premier League games, while Brentford head to Merseyside following back-to-back victories.

We spoke with Sky Sports journalist Richard Morgan to get his thoughts ahead of Saturday’s game at Anfield.

Liverpool are fifth in the Premier League with four games left to play, four points outside the top four. How would you summarise their season to date?

It has been a hugely frustrating and underwhelming campaign to date for Jurgen Klopp's side, albeit one that has got better as it has progressed as they are now left with an outside chance of Champions League qualification.

At the outset, Liverpool were expected to once again be Manchester City's main challengers for the title, but that never materialised after a slow start due to a combination of injuries and a general malaise among the players following on from a draining season last time around. 

In patches throughout the campaign, a mid-table finish has not looked beyond the realms of possibility. Things are looking brighter now, but given the tricky spells they have had to navigate, will securing European football of some sort be the priority?

Absolutely. Liverpool will be desperate to end the campaign on a high by winning their remaining four league matches and finishing as high as possible in the Premier League table. Ideally, that would lead to a top-four spot and Champions League football come the season's finale, but more likely a place in the Europa League, which the Reds would much prefer to qualify for than its less fancied cousin, the Europa Conference League.

Which player should Brentford fans be keeping an eye out for on Saturday?

Curtis Jones has been handed a first-team lifeline of late after season-ending injuries to Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic and grabbed it with both hands.

Operating on the left side of a midfield three, the England Under-21 international has really caught the eye with some impressive displays, including a well-taken goal in the 4-3 win against Tottenham last weekend, reminding everyone of his prodigious talents in the process.

How is Jurgen Klopp likely to set up his side at Anfield?

As he always does, in a 4-3-3 formation, albeit one that now sees versatile right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold also utilised as an auxiliary holding midfielder when Liverpool are in possession.

The last three meetings have seen a win, a draw and a loss for each team and produced 13 goals. What's your score prediction for this one?

I expect it to be another close-run and hard-fought contest at Anfield, with no more than one goal between the sides as Liverpool run out 2-1 winners.
