Liverpool vs Brentford Lineups, team news

Liverpool are likely to field an almost identical starting line-up for their first home game of the season against Brentford. Despite his early substitution against Ipswich Town, Jarell Quansah has now sustained a training injury and is doubtful whether he will be able to play this weekend. This means that Ibrahima Konate will almost certainly enter into a partnership Virgil van Dijk in central defence.

Elsewhere, Ryan Gravenberch is expected to continue to play a deeper midfield role and support the attacking trio. Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Luis DiazWith Liverpool having no new signings in the transfer window, the club’s squad remains relatively unchanged.

Liverpool’s expected formation (4-2-3-1, from right to left): Alisson (GK) – Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson – Mac Allister, Gravenberch – Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz – Jota.

Brentford will be without several important players in the match against Liverpool. The injured quartet of Rico Henry, Igor Thiago, Josh Dasilva, And Aaron Hickey will all be out, while the star striker Ivan Toney remains uncertain due to possible transfer interest.

Despite Toney’s uncertain future, the bees will probably be abandoned on Yoane Wissa to lead their attack.

Brentford’s expected line-up (4-3-3 from right to left): Flekken(GK) – Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer – Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen – Mbeumo, Wissa, shame.

Liverpool vs Brentford prediction

Liverpool are expected to continue their perfect start to the 2024–25 season with a comfortable win over Brentford. While the Bees have shown they can score goals, they have also been vulnerable defensively. With Liverpool’s strong attack and midfield, they should be able to create plenty of chances and punish Brentford’s mistakes. The Reds’ full-strength line-up will be a significant advantage, and they are expected to dominate the game from start to finish.

forecast: Liverpool – Brentford 3:1
