Liverpool vs Brentford Match Preview: Premier League Clash at Anfield

Match Context

Liverpool host Brentford at Anfield on 24 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 38. Liverpool sit 5th on 59 points with a goal difference of 10, while Brentford are 9th with 52 points and a goal difference of 3.

Liverpool Availability

Liverpool face a lengthy absentee list. S. Bajcetic (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. C. Bradley (Knee Injury) is sidelined. H. Ekitike (Achilles Tendon Injury) is sidelined, a major blow given his 11 goals and 4 assists in league play. W. Endo (Foot Injury) is sidelined. G. Leoni (Knee Injury) is sidelined. There are also key doubts: Alisson (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, raising questions in goal. J. Frimpong (Injury) is doubtful. A. Isak (Injury) is doubtful, further clouding Liverpool’s attacking options.

Brentford Availability

Brentford’s issues are lighter but still notable. F. Carvalho (Knee Injury) is sidelined. R. Henry (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. A. Milambo (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Star striker Thiago, with 22 league goals and 1 assist, is available and central to their attacking threat.

Impact Summary

Liverpool lose significant attacking output through the absence of H. Ekitike and the doubt over A. Isak, increasing reliance on creators like D. Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah. Brentford retain their primary goal source in Thiago, meaning Liverpool’s depleted side must still contain one of the division’s most productive forwards.
