Players to watch :

Andrew Robertson (Liverpool)

Andrew Robertson, the seasoned 30-year-old left-back from Glasgow, Scotland, has carved out a remarkable career since his early days with Queen’s Park, where he made 34 appearances and netted two goals. His potential was soon recognized at Dundee United, leading to a move to Hull City in 2014. Over three years with Hull, Robertson made 99 appearances and scored three goals, showcasing the qualities that caught Liverpool’s eye. In 2017, he signed with Liverpool and quickly established himself as one of the most dependable and consistent performers for the Reds, amassing 219 appearances and scoring 10 goals to date.

Robertson’s influence extends beyond club football; he has been a pivotal figure for the Scotland national team, earning 74 caps and scoring 3 goals. His leadership qualities were acknowledged when he was appointed Scotland’s captain in 2019. Under his captaincy, Robertson has been instrumental in shaping Scotland’s resilience and competitiveness on the international stage, leading his team with distinction at the recently concluded UEFA EURO 2024.

Mathias Jensen (Brentford)

The 5-foot-11-inch central midfielder from Jerslev, Denmark, began his footballing journey with FC Nordsjaelland, where he made 63 appearances and scored 15 goals, quickly establishing himself as a talented and dynamic presence in the midfield. After a brief stint at Celta Vigo, he joined Brentford in 2019. Over the last five years, he has been a key figure for the club, amassing over 185 appearances and contributing 11 goals.

Jensen’s influence extends to the international stage as well, where he has earned 30 caps for the Denmark national team, scoring once. A product of the Nordsjaelland Academy, Jensen has been an integral part of Denmark’s squads at major tournaments, including the UEFA Euro 2020, the FIFA World Cup 2022, and the recently concluded UEFA Euro 2024. If Brentford aims to continue their winning streak and stage an upset at Anfield, Jensen’s ability to control the tempo of the game and dominate the midfield will be crucial. His vision, passing accuracy, and ability to break up opposition play make him an essential asset for Brentford’s ambitions this season.
