Brentford manager Thomas Frank believes Liverpool is the best team in the world at the moment
Thomas Frank says the Reds are a "level above" Arsenal and Manchester City, with the Bees having played each of the three sides recently.

"I thought we played a really good game against the best team in the world right now,"
"We did a lot of things right. We defended very well. We gave the opportunities away but not too big.
"We probably lacked the final cutting edge. We had some good chances and opportunities that never became opportunities because of the last pass or touch. Their center-backs were exceptionally good."
It took until second-half stoppage time but Nunez did eventually break the deadlock for Liverpool, securing the Reds' 49th and 50th league goals of the campaign to date.
Despite the missed chances, Frank says Liverpool is better than anyone else in the Premier League that his team has faced.
Frank said
"I think we just played City and Arsenal and now Liverpool in a short amount of time,"
"For me, they're a level above the two teams. They're complete.
"Their work ethic, the way they track back, are good indicators. They're so good all over the pitch. Such a threat going forward.
“These are really, really good. It's the best team in the Premier League and the world. They're huge favorites to win it [the title]."
Frank added
“Nunez's first goal was perhaps a touch fortunate in where the ball fell for him to be teed up, but it was the 36th effort on goal Liverpool had in the game.”
"It's a deflection that [could] drop anywhere else because he blocks the cross, but it dropped perfectly for [Trent Alexander-Arnold] to play into Nunez,"
"Tough to take, but pleased with the performance. We always try to win the game from minute one despite who's coming here.
“We knew they'd have the ball a bit more, but we believed we could win the game."
