Chris Sutton and Mark Lawrenson can't agree on their respective predictions for Liverpool's clash with Brentford in the Premier League later today.
Jurgen Klopp's side still have slim hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season but know their fate lies elsewhere with only four games left to go.
The Reds cannot afford any further slip-ups and must hope their top-four rivals struggle in order to guarantee a spot in Europe's elite footballing competition, with Thomas Frank's side still holding their own aspirations too.

Having won five of their last five outings in the Premier League, Liverpool will hope to continue their imperious home record against the Bees later today and both Sutton and Lawrenson have lodged their own predictions ahead of kick-off at Anfield.
Chris Sutton, BBC
Prediction: 1-2
''Liverpool's attack is firing at the moment and I really like the look of their forward line. They need to win every game to have a chance of getting in the Champions League next season, but even Reds boss Jurgen Klopp feels it is unlikely they will make it from here.
''I don't even think they will beat Brentford, to be honest, because the Bees look like they are back on it after having a bit of of a blip a few weeks ago.
"The way Thomas Frank's side came back late on to beat Nottingham Forest last week was a sign they are not on their holidays yet and they have made a habit of upsetting the big clubs this season. Brentford deservedly beat Liverpool in January and I am going with the same outcome here.''
Mark Lawrenson, Paddy Power
Prediction: 2-0
''Brentford had a brilliant result last week, it’s always great to get two goals late to turn a game around like that. Liverpool have won five on the trot but they still look a bit all over the place at the back to me.
''I was at Fulham in midweek and they were unlucky not to get a point from that game. Still, this is at Anfield, so I’d expect a home win.''
