Brentford vs Liverpool: team news and expert analysis
The London club pleasantly surprised last season, collecting 53 points. However, they lost eighth place to Brighton on additional tiebreakers—and with it, the chance to compete in European competition. They have maintained their momentum this season, already knocking out two opponents in the League Cup and consistently picking up points early in the Premier League campaign, including confident wins over Tottenham and Chelsea. In October, they played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.
The Anfield giants endured a disastrous 2025/2026 season, failing to win a single trophy after last summer's expensive transfer campaign and dropping to fifth place in the Premier League. As a result, Slot was replaced by Iraola during the offseason. He began with a pair of draws, but points were then dropped only against Fulham—another 0-0 draw. Against Manchester City in the previous round, they suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat. This week, however, they enjoyed themselves in the Champions League, beating LASK 6-3.
The Londoners are currently scoring two goals for every one they concede. The former champions are averaging 1.17 goals scored per game so far, while conceding the same number.
