Brentford vs Liverpool: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Brentford host Liverpool at Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday, October 17 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).

Brentford have the injured Joshua Dasilva and Antoni Milambo missing, plus the injured Kaye Furo, while Mikkel Damsgaard, Jannik Schuster, Nathan Collins and the doubtful Kevin Schade are all touch-and-go for fitness. Vitaly Janelt, Keane Lewis-Potter and Igor Thiago look set to carry the attacking threat regardless. Liverpool arrive without the suspended Ryan Gravenberch and the injured Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni, with Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak and Dominik Szoboszlai all carrying knocks of their own heading into the weekend.

US viewers can watch Brentford vs Liverpool on NBC and Peacock.

• Igor Thiago (Brentford): Igor Thiago has fired off fourteen shots and created five chances to go with his one goal, the focal point of Brentford’s attack up top.
• Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool): Dominik Szoboszlai has created eleven chances and scored once for Liverpool, though a thigh problem puts his place in major doubt.

Brentford vs Liverpool Prediction

This has the feel of a tight, low-scoring afternoon, and Brentford’s record on their own patch — ten points from six games without a single defeat — gives them the edge over a Liverpool side still working out how to turn control into goals having picked up nine points from an uneven run of results. Vitaly Janelt or Igor Thiago feels like the type to nick the only goal in what should be a cagey watch. Brentford 1-0 Liverpool.
