Liverpool will probably be without Alexander Isak after he was injured against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday.
It feels like what has happened to him is a case of you reap what you sow. Isak has been short of full fitness and especially sharpness all season anyway, and he did not help himself there by missing training with Newcastle in order to try to force his move to Anfield through.
He got what he wanted, but now he is trying to play catch-up instead of hitting the ground running because of the time he had off, and that is when you can pick up injuries.
Isak is too good a player not to eventually start scoring goals but this whole situation has affected Liverpool as a team too, because his lack of fitness is one of the reasons they have not clicked in the final third yet.
They scored a few goals against Frankfurt on Wednesday but this is going to be much harder for them.
Brentford were more dominant on the ball when they beat West Ham on Monday but you know how Bees boss Keith Andrews will set up his team for this game - they will sit and then counter, and they are good at it.
Liverpool's attack will click at some point, but I don't think it will happen here, and their vulnerability to direct balls in behind their defence means I don't see them keeping a clean sheet either.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Inconsistent Brentford host Liverpool on Saturday, with the visitors vying to get their Premier League campaign back on track.
Liverpool's comfortable win in Frankfurt on Wednesday ended a run of four straight defeats in all competitions.
The Reds put five past the Bundesliga outfit and did so without Mohamed Salah, who was relegated to the bench in Germany.
Head coach Arne Slot instead opted to start with Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak as a front two for the first time. The gamble certainly paid off. However, the Swede failed to emerge for the second half and Slot later confirmed that the £125m striker had suffered a groin problem.
Isak's injury, coupled with another for right-sided player Jeremie Frimpong, all but confirms a return for Salah this weekend - but his numbers across all competitions in 2025-26 show a stark drop-off from the previous campaign.
Salah is enduring arguably the toughest period of his career in England to date, excluding his unsuccessful and brief spell at Chelsea more than 10 years ago.
However, this weekend's opposition have proven favourable for the 33-year old - he has registered six goals and one assist in seven previous Premier League meetings against the Bees. His manager is also backing him to return to scoring ways.
"We're not used to him missing chances, let alone in a few games in a row, but these things happen," said Arne Slot in his pre-match press conference. "The last thing I worry about is Mo starting to score goals again because that's what he done his whole life and that's what I expect him to do again."
Brentford have no obvious selection issues and after a dominant display at West Ham on Monday their starting XI, barring injuries, will likely pick itself.
Igor Thiago has emerged as one of the Premier League's form strikers and his goal against the Hammers took his total to five in the top flight this season, only behind runaway leader Erling Haaland, who has 11, and Antoine Semenyo, with six.
Marauding full-back Michael Kayode created seven chances at London Stadium - the joint-most of any Premier League player this season - while ex-Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson again proved to be a key cog in the machine.
The 35-year-old contributed an assist against both Chelsea and Manchester United and was recently labelled a Liverpool "legend" by his friend and former colleague Andy Robertson.
Henderson is one of four ex-Liverpool players in the Brentford squad and he is set to make his 440th Premier League appearance on Saturday, moving him one behind the league's all-time top scorer Alan Shearer. Of current top-flight players, only another of his former team-mates James Milner has featured more in the division.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Liverpool at Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
There are no fresh injury concerns. Aaron Hickey "won't make this weekend" but should be back in training next week after recovering from a knee injury picked up while on international duty with Scotland.
Paris Maghoma and Gustavo Nunes are both in contention though, after featuring in the Brentford B team's 6-1 victory over Luton Town on Tuesday.
Andrews has "enjoyed watching" Nunes' recent performances, adding: "He is building. I've been at both games and when he came on against QPR, he had those glimpses. We need to keep nudging him in the direction we need him to go because there's certainly a very good player there."
On Josh Dasilva signing a new contract with the club, he said: "I'm really happy we were able to sign him to a new contract because he is a big part of this football club and he has been very helpful to me during this transition period. He also stood out to me last season in terms of set pieces."
Arne Slot's team "doesn't have the rhythm it once did" but Liverpool have "world-class players" and the ability to be "absolutely lethal" in certain moments.
When asked if he has a game plan ready, he replied: "We will have to manage the game. We are well aware of the strengths they have. We will see what their teamsheet brings tomorrow evening. We will be prepared for it and we are really looking forward to it."
He is aware that Liverpool enjoy tweaking their system and has briefed his players on it: "We will see who starts the game and that will give us an indication as to which way they will go in possession."
It is "nice to have options" at left-back, but it is leaving the Brentford boss with a bit of a conundrum. He explained: "It was a tough call to not play Rico [Henry] against West Ham, but [Kristoffer] Ajer played very well against Manchester City and deserved to keep his place. He played well again against West Ham. If people play well, they will stay in the team."
On Yehor Yarmoliuk's "outstanding performances" this season, he said: "This is his first real season as a starter and he has grasped that opportunity. He has grown in stature, grown the personality that he is playing with, grown his understanding of the game, and grown within the group."

Image source, BrentfordBrentford midfielder Josh Dasilva says he "can't thank the club enough" for giving him a new contract until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old has had an injury-plagued two years, undergoing three operations since sustaining a significant knee injury in February 2024.
Dasilva's contract expired in the summer but he has remained at the club to complete his rehabilitation and now hopes to return after the November international break.
"It's been a long journey, but I can't thank the club enough for giving me this opportunity," Dasilva said. "I don't know how many clubs would have given a player this opportunity to carry on.
"It's been hard, but I'm very thankful for it, and I just can't wait to be out there enjoying my football with the boys and putting on the shirt again.
"I did my ACL, MCL and meniscus in early February 2024, and then I had to have another operation six months later, and then another operation eight months later. This is why it's been a minute since I've been on the pitch.
"Right now, I'm just doing rehab outside, doing ball work and running. I've been doing that for quite a few weeks now, so hopefully, within the next month or so, I can start training with the team.
"I try not to look too far ahead because I've got today and tomorrow to focus on. I'm just taking every milestone as it comes."
Brentford head coach Keith Andrews added: "I've been keen to get this done and had discussions with Phil Giles around it, stressing the importance of Josh to the group.
"He's someone that I've involved a lot around the next chapter of where we're going with the club and the steps we need to make.
"Josh is someone who really understands Brentford Football Club and he's a really intelligent young man who cares about the club - I don't think we should forget that.
"But, ultimately, we want to get him back on the grass because, if we get him back to the level he was at, he's going to be a major asset for us."

Image source, Getty ImagesMonday night's important win at the London Stadium was our seventh Premier League victory over West Ham in nine meetings - and certainly the most comprehensive.
The Bees produced our best away performance of the season and should have won by more.
Our 15 first-half shots was our joint highest in our four-and-a-bit years in the Premier League and our 22 in total in the match our best this campaign.
It was also our first away league win this season and pushes us closer to halfway in the table.
Everyone played well, with midfielders Yehor Yarmoliuk and Jordan Henderson particularly outstanding.
We were solid at the back and the front three linked up well together. The number of crosses we delivered into the area was incredible - it was just a pity we only converted one of them.
West Ham were poor - but that takes nothing away from the Bees' performance. Despite that, even an off-form team can score, so I found the last half-hour more nervy than enjoyable as I could see an undeserved equaliser coming.
As Brentford fans, we have seen this happen too many times over the years!
Luckily the Hammers never looked likely to ruin our night, but my nerves were only calmed when Mathias Jensen - for the second time in three games - blasted in a last-gasp goal to seal the win only minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Next up are out-of-form Liverpool - another game on a Saturday night, which I still feel is a terrible time to have a match.
They have a Champions League fixture at Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday, which could be their fifth successive defeat.
Teams have often ended losing runs against us, but if we are brave and take the momentum from this result, who knows what could happen.

Brentford took full advantage of a passive display by West Ham to produce one of their most dominant away performances in the Premier League.
They had 42 touches in the opposition box and registered 22 shots, with both figures their highest in a top-flight game on the road since promotion in 2021.
Several of the visitors' other key metrics, including expected goals, also ranked amongst their best as the Bees produced what head coach Keith Andrews called their "most complete performance of the season".
The concern for Hammers boss Nuno Espirito Santo will be just how one-sided the game was – and why his side weren't more competitive.

We asked for your thoughts after Monday's Premier League match between West Ham United and Brentford.
Here are some of your comments:
West Ham fans:
Blake: Absolutely shocking performance from West ham. Absolutely no urgency anywhere on the pitch and everyone looked tired. Need to have a big look at ourselves and try again.
Jade: That's one of the worst performances I've seen from us in years (and I've seen some stinkers). What exactly was Nuno's plan tonight? No striker, full-backs playing on the wrong sides, a midfield with no presence - looked like 11 strangers out there. No cohesion, identity or fight - utterly toothless.
Roger: Expected so much more passion on the pitch for the new gaffer's first home game. Time for some radical action. 17-year-old Airidas Golambeckis is our best young player since Rice.
Robbie: Poor West Ham team, not a one off, major problems ahead.
Brentford fans:
Mike: Andrews quietly silencing the doubters. Young coach learning game by game, will be there for many years I feel. Well don't Bees.
Lee: Brentford looked much fitter than West Ham. The Hammers looked very lethargic.
Drew: Only consolation for West Ham United tonight was the scoreline. Brentford should've been in double figures. Worst performance by a Premier League team I've seen in years. Brentford's Thiago looks some player. Brentford will be OK with the quality they've got throughout the squad.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews speaking to BBC Sport after the 2-0 win at West Ham: "Very content. The performance was excellent on a lot of fronts - the chemistry, the conviction. It was a very good performance. A lot of individuals taking the next steps.
"What we've seen from Igor Thiago is that he will score goals. He's a handful. He's a personality.
"Jordan [Henderson] is imperative. We have a young squad. He's brought in his experience."
On if this was their best performance of the season so far: "Yes I think so. We've shown parts in games and got good results, but performance-wise this is the most complete."

Brentford remain one of only two sides, along with Liverpool, to have scored in every Premier League away game in 2025, last failing to do so against Brighton in December 2024.

Brentford started the day 16th in the table but jumped up to 13th as boss Keith Andrews celebrated his first away Premier League victory as a manager.
He would surely have been surprised by just how easy it was against struggling West Ham, as the visitors to London Stadium had 58% of possession.
Andrews' side were better in every department and just about every statistic. Their 15 shots in the first half alone was their joint highest ever in the Premier League, while the overall total of 22 shots in the match was their highest in this campaign, as was the 451 attempted passes.
With England midfielder Jordan Henderson superb in central midfield, Brentford were outstanding throughout. They were also a constant threat from corners and Michael Kayode's impressive long throws.
Igor Thiago scored just before half-time, but so many other chances were not converted: Nathan Collins headed over, Thiago volleyed against the top of the crossbar, Mikkel Damsgaard had a header saved by Areola, Dango Ouattara twice missed with headers, Kevin Schade headed against the bar and Keane Lewis-Potter curled a shot wide.
Substitute Mathias Jensen's late goal gave the scoreline a closer resemblance to the domination Brentford had enjoyed.

Have your say on West Ham's performance
What did you make of Brentford's display?
Come back on Tuesday for a selection of your replies
Nuno Espirito Santo makes five changes to the West Ham starting line-up in his first home game in charge of the Hammers.
In come 19-year-old full-back Ollie Scarles, Jean-Clair Todibo, Kyle Walker-Peters, Tomas Soucek (back after a three-game ban) and Andy Irving.
West Ham XI: Areola, Scarles, Kilman, Todibo, Walker-Peters, Soucek, Irving, Summerville, Fernandes, Paqueta, Bowen.
Just the one change from Brentford boss Keith Andrews to the 11 that began the 1-0 loss to Manchester City on 5 October as Dango Ouattara is in and Aaron Hickey misses out.
Brentford XI: Kelleher, Yarmoliuk, Van Den Berg, Collins, Ajer, Kayode, Damsgaard, Henderson, Ouattara, Thiago, Schade.
West Ham have lost three out of three at home - the same as Brentford have done away - so something has got to give here.
This could be 0-0 on the basis that both teams will just sit in their own half - I don't think either team will want the ball and both managers prefer to play on the counter-attack.
Nuno Espirito Santo has been brought in to keep the Hammers up, so he is not going to change the style of play that has brought him success.
I am not sure how that will go down with the West Ham fans - recent history suggests they are not going to like it, but they are going to have to get used to it.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews also likes to park the bus, so I don't see there being many chances at either end, or much ambition to score.
I can feel myself edging towards another 0-0 prediction but instead I am going to be optimistic and say there will be a goal... and a first West Ham win for Nuno.
He has already beaten Brentford once, as Forest manager on the opening weekend of the season, so this would be a very welcome double for him.
Sutton's prediction: 1-0
Tom McCoy
BBC Sport journalist
West Ham play their first home game under Nuno Espirito Santo, taking on a Brentford side who have only lost one of their eight Premier League matches against the Hammers. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Monday's fixture.
The Hammers' new head coach has plenty on his plate after succeeding Graham Potter but improving the team's dismal home form must be the immediate priority. West Ham have lost all three of their games at London Stadium this term, with disenchanted fans streaming out early during heavy defeats against Chelsea and Tottenham and a similarly toxic atmosphere in the recent reverse to Crystal Palace.
Some supporters protested against the board before the loss to Palace and a boycott is also planned for this match, although campaign organisers have stressed their actions are not aimed at Nuno or his players.
The Hammers have the worst defensive record in the top flight before this latest round of fixtures so it would be no surprise to see a change of system against the Bees. Nuno reportedly fielded a back three during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Championship side Ipswich during the international break, and a new system could perhaps provide his side with a more solid structure.
However the Hammers line up, supporters will expect to see the team make amends for their woeful recent record in derby matches. They have lost all four of their Premier League London derbies this season, conceding a total of 12 goals, and are at risk of losing five such fixtures in a row for the first time since 2010.
Brentford are Hammers' bogey side
Brentford have lost all three of their away league games under Keith Andrews but will take encouragement from their impressive record against West Ham. They have won six of eight Premier League meetings, more victories than against any other opponent, including a 1-0 win at the London Stadium in February.
Andrews' team were beaten by Manchester City last time out, though they once again caused problems with long throw-ins. Brentford have delivered 34 throws into box in the league this season, more than any other side, and could have some success with that ploy against a West Ham side that have already conceded eight times from corners.
While set-pieces have been a crucial part of Brentford's success since promotion in 2021, the Bees may have to lean on them even more under Andrews, who was their set-piece coach until taking over as head coach in June.
Under the Irishman, Brentford are playing fewer passes, taking fewer shots and having fewer touches in the opposition box per game than in any of their previous Premier League campaigns.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Monday's Premier League game against West Ham at London Stadium (kick-off 20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Andrews confirmed Aaron Hickey is "back on the grass" after his knock on international duty, while Reiss Nelson and Gustavo Nunes both featured for the under-21s and are available for selection.
The Brentford boss also spoke about Antoni Milambo after the news he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury: "He's obviously very down. It's devastating for him, first and foremost. He's at a new club, settling into a new country as a very young player that we have high, high hopes for. Suffering an injury of that level is obviously very disappointing, but the one thing he knows is that he will get a lot of support here and time to heal."
He added: "To go through that process is the worst part of being a footballer - not being able to do what you love, mates going out and training and you can't. Antoni's got a long road back to getting back on the pitch, but he will get so much support from everyone here at Brentford."
On defender Michael Kayode being an unsung hero in the team: "I like a lot about him. His desire to be as good as he can be is up there with best I have come across. He is a joy to be around in personality. Factor in coming from a different country and he has settled really well last season. This season he has kicked on. He is a defender who likes to defend."
He confirmed Michael Antonio had been training at the club for a week to 10 days but "picked up a little knock and has been in and out".
On his assessment of their attack so far this season: "A little bit of adapting. We have tweaked the system and formation. Some attacking players have had to be unselfish, really putting the team before themselves. You have seen glimpses, in connections and relations. We have really talented players at the top end of the pitch. The longer they are together, building those relationships, the better they will be. We have seen how devastating they can be in glimpses."
On where the side can improve still: "Every facet of the game we can improve on. How connected we are as a team without the ball, how we press, communication, a lot of relationships - I speak about that a lot. It is a new team. It just takes a bit of time. Whatever facet it is, I know we can, and will, improve. But because of the nature of the business we want it to be sooner rather than later."

BBC Sport statistician
Image source, Getty ImagesLooking at Premier League teams' attacks specifically in the graphic below, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool have taken by far the most shots, averaging about 15 per game.
But the reason why Manchester City and Crystal Palace have the best attacks overall is because they are creating much better chances, averaging about 0.14 xG per shot.
What that means is that historically Premier League sides have converted the chances City and Palace are creating at a rate of 14%, compared to 10% of the shots that United, Arsenal and Liverpool are.
Brentford are a strange side because while they are averaging just eight shots per game, the quality of those chances has been so high that their attack still ranks mid-table overall.
