Brentford vs Liverpool

Brentford will host Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium in West London on Saturday, October 25, 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 8:00 PM BST. Liverpool are aiming to build on their midweek 5-1 Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, while Brentford look to continue their recent momentum following a 2-0 away win at West Ham. The match is expected to be a closely contested encounter, with both teams eager to secure valuable points.

In terms of injuries, Brentford faces several challenges. Defender Aaron Hickey is doubtful due to a knee issue, while midfielder Josh Dasilva remains sidelined with a knee injury. Liverpool, on the other hand, will be without several key players. Striker Alexander Isak is a major doubt after sustaining a groin injury during the Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt. Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is also doubtful with an ankle issue. Defender Jeremie Frimpong is sidelined with a hamstring injury, and goalkeeper Alisson Becker remains unavailable due to a similar injury sustained earlier in the season.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is expected to deploy a 4-3-3 formation, with Giorgi Mamardashvili starting in goal. The defensive line will likely consist of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, and Kostas Tsimikas. The midfield trio of Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Florian Wirtz will aim to control possession and supply support to the attacking trio. Up front, Mohamed Salah, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha are expected to lead the attack. Brentford, under manager Keith Andrews, are anticipated to set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on a compact defense and quick counter-attacks. The attacking trio of Igor Thiago, Michael Kayode, and Yoane Wissa will look to exploit any spaces left by Liverpool’s defense.
