MOUTH OF THE MERSEY

- IAN DOYLE

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

Former Reds skipper Jordan Henderson (right) will be in opposition for the first time since leaving in the summer of 2023 when Arne Slot's side take on Brentford.

Despite avoiding a fifth successive defeat by beating Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in the Champions League in midweek, three straight Premier League defeats have seen Liverpool slip four points behind leaders and new title favourites Arsenal.
