Latest team news for Brentford vs Liverpool
Liverpool welcome back Darwin Nunez after his suspension, while Jota is likely to start after scoring the fastest goal from the bench in Premier League history. Defender Tsimikas also has a chance to play in place of Andy Robertson, amid rumors of Liverpool's interest in Patrick Dorgu. Joe Gomez is the only absentee due to injury, needing a few more weeks to recover from a hamstring injury.
Brentford are facing a squad crisis with Josh Dasilva (knee), Ethan Pinnock (thigh), Kristoffer Ajer (ankle), Aaron Hickey (thigh), Igor Thiago (knee), Gustavo Nunes (back), and Ryan Trevitt (Achilles tendon) still absent. Rico Henry has returned from a long absence and could feature in the starting lineup for the upcoming match. However, manager Frank Frank may prefer Keane Lewis-Potter to face Mohamed Salah due to the latter's increased playing time.

Latest football match prediction: Brentford vs Liverpool
Liverpool's duo Kostas Tsimikas and Diogo Jota made a difference against Nottingham Forest with their first touches after coming on as substitutes. Tsimikas' first touch created a chance in the penalty area, while Jota headed in the equalizer shortly after coming on, erasing the opponent's earlier opening goal. However, the disappointment remained.
Nottingham Forest's Matz Sels and Murillo played brilliantly, denying Liverpool a victory. Liverpool's advantage in the league table was reduced by Arsenal's win in the London derby. Although still four points ahead and with a game in hand, Liverpool began to show signs of slowing down in 2025. Their 4-0 win against Accrington in the FA Cup was their only victory in their first four games of the year.
Liverpool's inability to win away from home has resulted in their first three-match winless streak in the Premier League since the 5th to the 8th of 2023. Despite this, manager Slot remains unbeaten away from home in the domestic league, with his current unbeaten away run reaching 16 matches. While Liverpool extended their unbeaten run, Brentford's ground has become a weak point with a series of defeats.
A fourth home defeat seemed imminent when Phil Foden scored a brace for Man City, but a Yoane Wissa counter-attack and Christian Norgaard's equalizer secured a point for Brentford. Brentford are currently in the top half of the table, but their form resembles that of a team in the bottom half.
In their last eight matches across all competitions, Brentford have only won one. While they have the most home goals (29), Brentford are also one of the teams that have conceded the most goals (25) in the league. Brentford also often struggle against Liverpool, with The Reds winning all four of their recent Premier League encounters. Liverpool have only failed to score against Brentford once, in a 0-0 draw in 1936.
