As both teams seek to build on their positive starts, this encounter promises to be a thrilling clash, with Liverpool eager to assert their dominance at home and Brentford aiming to upset the odds.

Liverpool vs Brentford Team News

Liverpool are fortunate to have no new injury concerns ahead of this match, allowing Arne Slot to select from a full-strength squad. Joe Gomez, who missed the opening fixture due to ongoing transfer speculation, has returned to training and is expected to be back in the squad. 

Additionally, Ibrahima Konate, who came on at half-time against Ipswich, is likely to retain his place in the starting XI. Youngster Bobby Clark is close to completing a move to RB Salzburg, but this won’t affect the senior squad.

Brentford, on the other hand, have several injury concerns. Forwards Igor Thiago and Joshua Dasilva are both ruled out long-term, while fullbacks Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry are doubtful despite returning to training. Ivan Toney, who missed the opening match due to transfer speculation, is back in training, but his inclusion in the squad remains uncertain.

Probable Line-Up

Brentford XI: Flekken, Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer, Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt, Mbuemo, Wissa, Schade

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Díaz.

Verdict 

Liverpool are favorites to win this match, given their strong home record and superior squad depth. Brentford’s away form has improved, but they might struggle to cope with Liverpool’s attacking prowess, especially at Anfield.

Liverpool have a formidable home record, and Brentford have several key injuries that could affect their performance. Liverpool’s attacking strength, combined with Brentford’s defensive vulnerabilities, makes a home win the most likely outcome.

Both Teams to Score: No

Reason: Liverpool have kept clean sheets in their last five home matches against Brentford. Given the Bees’ struggles on the road and Liverpool’s defensive solidity, this game could follow a similar pattern.

Under 3.5 Goals

Reason: While Liverpool are likely to dominate, Brentford’s disciplined defense might limit the total number of goals. A cautious approach from Brentford could result in fewer goals scored.
