Brentford will be without J. Dasilva, A. Hickey, and A. Milambo due to knee injuries. These absences could impact their midfield and defensive stability against a strong Liverpool side.

Liverpool faces significant challenges with several key players missing, including Alisson Becker and A. Isak due to groin injuries, along with Stefan Bajčetić, L. Chambers, J. Frimpong, G. Leoni, and R. Gravenberch dealing with various injuries. This could put their defensive line under additional pressure.

Brentford is currently positioned 14th in the Premier League with 10 points, fighting to avoid relegation. In contrast, Liverpool sits in third place with 15 points, looking to strengthen their Champions League qualification hopes. This match presents a critical clash for both teams.

Brentford has shown mixed form lately, recording a win and a loss in their last two matches. Their overall record of 3-1-4 with 11 goals scored and 12 conceded indicates an imbalance in their performance. They will rely on home advantage, having earned two wins at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Liverpool has struggled recently with three consecutive losses followed by a vital win, leaving them with a total record of 5-0-3. While their goal-scoring ability remains strong, with 14 goals so far, defensive lapses have seen them concede 11. They will aim to bounce back and consolidate their top-four position.
