THE VOICE OF REGENERATION

Virgil speaking up to lead way has hit the Slot

- BY IAN DOYLE

LIVERPOOL will face a reminder of their glorious past when they attempt to breathe new life into their faltering Premier League title defence this evening.

Former Reds skipper Jordan Henderson will be in opposition for the first time since leaving in the summer of 2023 when Arne Slot's side take on Brentford, having avoided a fifth successive defeat and a worst run in 72 years by beating Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in the Champions League.

Nevertheless, three Premier League defeats on the spin have seen Liverpool slip four points behind leaders and new title favourites Arsenal.
