Brentford vs Liverpool Preview and Prediction: The Away Team is Running Out of Breath

Latest team news for Brentford vs Liverpool

Brentford will be without Antoni Milambo (anterior cruciate ligament rupture) and Paris Maghoma (thigh injury), while defender Aaron Hickey's availability is still being assessed after missing the West Ham game with a knee injury.

Manager Andrews has used a five-defender formation with wing-backs in matches against Chelsea and Man City this season, and may continue with that system against Liverpool. Keane Lewis-Potter hopes to return to the starting lineup at left-back.

Two former Liverpool players – goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and midfielder Jordan Henderson – are expected to start. Meanwhile, top scorer Igor Thiago – who has scored 5 Premier League goals this season – could partner Kevin Schade or Dango Ouattara in attack.

For Liverpool, Jeremie Frimpong and Alexander Isak are both unlikely to feature after suffering hamstring and groin injuries respectively in the win against Frankfurt midweek.

Giovanni Leoni (torn anterior cruciate ligament) and goalkeeper Alisson Becker (hamstring) are definitely out. However, coach Slot's team hopes Ryan Gravenberch will be fit to return after missing the trip to Germany due to a minor ankle injury.

A major decision awaits manager Slot: whether to start Mohamed Salah – who has failed to score from open play in his last seven Premier League games. Meanwhile, Florian Wirtz – who has come on as a substitute in three of his last four games – provided two assists in the final two goals against Frankfurt and will be hoping for a starting spot against Brentford.

Latest predicted lineups for Brentford vs Liverpool

Brent Ford:

Kelleher; Collins, Van den Berg, Pinnock; Kayode, Henderson, Yarmolyuk, Lewis-Potter; Damsgaard; Schade, Thiago

Liverpool:

Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike

Latest football match prediction: Brentford vs Liverpool

Following a run of four consecutive defeats in all competitions – the first since Brendan Rodgers' arrival in November 2014 – including a bitter 1-2 home loss to rivals Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend, pressure is mounting on manager Arne Slot and a demoralized Liverpool squad ahead of their Champions League trip to Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday.

Despite spending around £450 million in the summer transfer window, Liverpool have underperformed this season. Their leaky defense continued to be exposed as they conceded the opening goal to Frankfurt – their 18th goal conceded in 13 games since the start of the season.

However, Hugo Ekitike's equalizer – against his former club – sparked a spectacular comeback for Liverpool. Virgil Van Dijk, Ibrahim Konate, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai all scored to help the Reds thrash Frankfurt 5-1 – their biggest win since April (also 5-1 against Tottenham).

In the Champions League, Liverpool earned 6 points from 3 matches. In the Premier League, the reigning champions only have 15 points from 8 matches (5 wins, 3 losses), dropping to third place and trailing league leaders Arsenal by 4 points after defeats against Man United, Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

The last time Liverpool lost four consecutive Premier League matches was in February 2021, and they could very well repeat that unfortunate record if they lose on Saturday. Notably, the Merseyside side have lost five of their last eight away Premier League games, and have lost all four of their most recent away matches against London teams – a run of five consecutive defeats like that has only happened once before, between March and November 1970.

In the early stages of the season, Liverpool frequently scored late goals to secure points, but now they are experiencing the same thing again, losing all three of their most recent Premier League matches due to goals conceded in the final 10 minutes, despite having equalized in each game. In Premier League history, no team has ever lost four consecutive matches in this manner; except for Crystal Palace in November 2016, who lost four consecutive games after equalizing in each match.

Brentford secured their third Premier League win of the season, and their first away win under manager Keith Andrews, as they beat West Ham 2-0 at the London Stadium on Monday night.

"The Bees" – who had lost all three of their opening away games – completely dominated West Ham with 15 shots, with Igor Thiago opening the scoring in the 43rd minute and Mathias Jensen sealing the victory in the final minutes of injury time.

Brentford are currently 13th in the Premier League table, five points clear of the relegation zone – the same gap as Liverpool, who are in 3rd place. They are aiming for two consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since their four-game winning streak in April–May last season.

However, their home form at Gtech remains inconsistent, with Brentford winning only 5 of their 16 home games in all competitions since the start of 2025 (4 draws, 7 losses), although 3 of those 5 wins came this season, including a 3-1 victory over Man United at the end of September.

Before facing Liverpool, Brentford were unbeaten in 2 of their first 3 Premier League encounters (1 win, 1 draw), but since their 3-1 victory in January 2023, they have lost 5 consecutive matches against "The Reds" with a combined score of 1-12.
