Another weekend, another Premier League showdown. This time, Liverpool make the short trip to West London to face Brentford — and you can feel the buzz already. Brentford have turned their home ground into a real test for top teams, while Liverpool continue to push for another title challenge.
So, what happens when a fearless home side meets one of the league’s most ruthless attacking outfits? Let’s take a look.
Both sides come into this one with mixed news on the fitness front. Brentford are still without a couple of key players through injury, but Thomas Frank has managed to keep his team competitive. Expect Ivan Toney to lead the line — he’s always up for a scrap against the big boys — supported by Bryan Mbeumo, who’s been lively on the break.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have a few headaches of their own. Cody Gakpo has been in fine form, and he’s expected to start again, while Mohamed Salah continues to be the Reds’ biggest threat going forward. Jurgen Klopp might rotate slightly to keep things fresh, but don’t expect him to underestimate Brentford.
Defensively, Liverpool have tightened up but still tend to allow chances on the road. That could be something Brentford will try to exploit early on.
Brentford: Flekken; Hickey, Pinnock, Collins, Henry; Nørgaard, Janelt, Jensen; Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
Both sides like to attack, both can be a bit shaky at the back, and neither tends to sit deep for long.
Liverpool’s away games this season have been full of action — over 2.5 goals have landed in around 70% of them. Brentford aren’t far behind either, especially at home where they love to push forward.
Betting angles worth considering:
If you’re looking for a goalscorer, Cody Gakpo anytime is tempting. He’s been clinical recently and tends to find space against physical sides like Brentford.
Liverpool will likely control the ball, but Brentford won’t just sit back. They’ll press high, look to hit on the counter, and try to use Toney’s strength to unsettle Van Dijk and Konate.
Liverpool, though, have too much attacking quality. Salah, Diaz, and Gakpo all have pace to burn, and when they click, few teams can stop them. The only question is whether their defence can stay focused — because Brentford will get chances.
Match Prediction: Liverpool to win. Bet with bet365.
If I had to call it, I’d say Liverpool win 3-1. Brentford will fight and probably score, but Liverpool’s attack looks too strong. A comfortable scoreline on paper, but not necessarily an easy afternoon.
Correct Score Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Brentford. Bet with bet365.
You want action? You’ll get it. Both sides have seen plenty of high-scoring games recently. Liverpool’s away fixtures have gone over 3.5 goals in half of their last ten, and Brentford’s home matches often follow the same trend.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a combo that makes sense for this one:
That’s your attacking football ticket right there. Both teams will go for it, and this combo lines up perfectly with how these two usually play.
Bet Builder Tip: Liverpool to win, both teams to score -yes, and Cody Gakpo anytime scorer. Bet with bet365.

Liverpool are favourites based on form and quality, but Brentford at home are no pushovers. Still, I’m backing Liverpool to edge it.
I’m leaning towards a 3-1 win for Liverpool — goals both ways, but the Reds’ quality should tell.
Yes, both sides are likely to get on the scoresheet.
Absolutely. Both teams attack with intent, and their defensive lapses mean goals are on the cards.
