Brentford vs Liverpool: Preview, predictions and lineups

  • Liverpool journey to the capital on Saturday to face Brentford
  • Reds seeking first Premier League victory of the new year
  • Bees without a win in their last four home games in all competitions

Liverpool are seeking their first Premier League victory of 2025 when they visit Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds have stumbled to draws with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest in their last two Premier League matches, with their lead at the summit sliced to just four points by Arsenal – albeit the Reds have a game in hand on their London foes. Another slip-up at the Gtech Community Stadium would put Arne Slot side under huge pressure from their title rivals.

Brentford had made their ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี home ground fortress at the beginning of the season. But their west London invincibility has been shattered in recent weeks. They are now without victory in four home games, including a shock FA Cup third round exit to Plymouth Argyle. They did secure a dramatic late comeback against Manchester City last time out, however.

Brentford team news

Brentford have struggled with injuries this season and they remain without some influential players. Starting centre-back Ethan Pinnock is sidelined with a hamstring issue, joining fellow defenders Aaron Hickey and Kristoffer Ajer in the treatment room. Sepp van den Berg will line up in the heart of defence against his former employers.

Joshua Dasilva and Gustavo Nunes are long-term absentees, while summer recruit Igor Thiago is suffering with an infection following a knee injury. The expensive Brazilian has featured in just four Premier League games this term.

Liverpool team news

Liverpool have been comparatively fortunate with injuries during Slot’s debut season and the Dutch coach is only missing versatile defender Joe Gomez for Saturday’s trip to the capital. He’s likely to return in February from his hamstring issue.
