Latest Liverpool vs Brentford team information
Although Jarell Quansah was selected over Ibrahima Konate for the match at Portman Road, he was withdrawn just after half-time due to losing several important challenges, not due to fitness issues.
Quansah picked up an injury in training and could miss the weekend, raising the possibility of Ibrahima Konate partnering Virgil van Dijk in the upcoming game. Liverpool will field a largely unchanged line-up from their opening game of the season, with Ryan Gravenberch continuing in a deeper midfield role.
For Brentford, key striker Ivan Toney has yet to make any progress on a transfer and his fitness for the weekend is unclear. The four players who are definitely absent are Rico Henry, Igor Thiago, Josh Dasilva and Aaron Hickey. Manager Frank is hopeful Henry can return after the September international break.
In Toney's absence, Yoane Wissa will continue to lead the line and has the chance to make Premier League history by scoring and assisting in four consecutive games. Brentford have also signed Sepp van den Berg from Liverpool, but the Dutchman may not be available immediately.

Latest Liverpool vs Brentford football commentary
Liverpool got their 2024-25 campaign off to a flying start with a 2-0 win over Ipswich at Portman Road. The afternoon game saw a commendable performance from newly promoted Ipswich, but Liverpool's resilience was revealed in the second half thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah, who scored on the opening weekend.
The win means Liverpool boss Slot ends the curse of managers failing to win their opening Premier League game since Gerard Houllier in 1998. Liverpool have now extended their unbeaten run at Anfield in the first month of the new season since 2015. Slot is now aiming to become the first Liverpool manager to win his first two Premier League games since Graeme Souness in 1991.
Meanwhile, Brentford also got off to a positive start with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. Despite being without Ivan Toney due to transfer issues, his supporting players did well, and Brentford also had some luck when an Eberechi Eze free-kick was denied.
While Brentford have been in fine form, especially with the consistent contributions of Wissa and Mbeumo, they will face a tough test when they visit Anfield, where they have not beaten Liverpool since 1937. While Brentford are likely to create chances, Liverpool, with Slot's strong squad, will be expected to maintain their perfect start to the 2024-25 season.
