The upcoming Premier League match between Liverpool and Brentford is set to take place on Saturday evening at Anfield. Liverpool will be seeking revenge after their loss to Brentford earlier this year. In their last match, Liverpool managed to secure a 1-0 win against Fulham, while Brentford also won a nervy match against Nottingham Forest, coming from behind to win 2-1.
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah scored the winning goal against Fulham from a penalty that was deemed controversial by some. In team news, Thiago Alcantara will miss the remainder of the season as he prepares for surgery on a hip problem. Stefan Bajcetic and Calvin Ramsay are also out due to injuries, while Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino are working on their return but will need careful assessment. Diogo Jota overcame a fresh knock and could potentially make his way back into the frontline alongside Cody Gakpo. Andrew Robertson is expected to return to the team for Kostas Tsimikas.
Brentford also has several injury concerns to consider for the match, with captain Pontus Jansson and Keane Lewis-Potter facing races against time to recover before the end of the season. Christian Norgaard's recovery from a calf concern is also unknown, but Kristoffer Ajer could potentially return to the team. Second-choice goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha could also make an appearance. Dasilva, who successfully completed all four of his dribble attempts against Nottingham Forest, could potentially challenge Mikkel Damsgaard's spot in the team.
Liverpool is likely to start with Alisson in goal, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, and Robertson in defense, with Jones, Fabinho, and Henderson in midfield. Salah, Gakpo, and Jota could make up the frontline. Brentford's possible starting lineup includes Raya in goal, Hickey, Mee, Pinnock, and Henry in defense, with Jensen, Janelt, and Dasilva in midfield. Mbeumo, Toney, and Schade could make up the frontline.
In terms of predictions, Liverpool is favored to win with a score of 2-1 against Brentford. However, with both teams having several injury concerns to consider, the match could be unpredictable. Liverpool will be seeking to maintain their momentum in their pursuit of a top-four finish, while Brentford will be looking to secure their place in the Premier League for another season.
