Liverpool defeated Ipswich Town 2-0 in their season opener under new manager Arne Slot's direction. Although Ipswich, a freshly promoted side, fought hard, Liverpool's experience and skill eventually won out.

Meanwhile, Brentford narrowly overcame Crystal Palace 2-1. However, their performance versus Palace exposed areas for development, particularly in defence. 

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Liverpool vs. Brentford lineups, team news

Liverpool will likely field a near-identical starting XI for their first home match of the season against Brentford. Despite his early substitution against Ipswich Town, Jarell Quansah has now picked up a training injury and is a doubt for the weekend. This means that Ibrahima Konate will almost certainly partner Virgil van Dijk in central defense.

Elsewhere, Ryan Gravenberch is expected to continue in a deeper midfield role, providing support to the attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz. Liverpool's lack of new signings in the transfer window means that their squad remains relatively unchanged.

Liverpool predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Alisson(GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson — Mac Allister, Gravenberch — Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz — Jota.

Brentford will be without several key players for their match against Liverpool. The injured quartet of Rico Henry, Igor Thiago, Josh Dasilva, and Aaron Hickey will all be sidelined, while star striker Ivan Toney remains uncertain due to potential transfer interest.

However, head coach Thomas Frank is optimistic that Henry will make his long-awaited comeback after the September international break. Despite Ivan Toney's uncertain future, the Bees will likely rely on Yoane Wissa to lead their attack. The DR Congo international has the opportunity to become the first player ever to score and assist in four consecutive Premier League games. 

Sepp van den Berg, who recently joined Brentford from Liverpool, is unlikely to start his first match for the club.

Brentford predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Flekken (GK) — Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer — Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen — Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade. 

Injured: Henry, Thiago, Dasilva, Hickey

Liverpool vs. Brentford prediction

Liverpool are expected to maintain their perfect start to the 2024-25 season with a comfortable victory over Brentford.

While the Bees have shown that they can score goals, they have also been defensively vulnerable. With Liverpool's strong attack and midfield, they should be able to create numerous chances and punish Brentford's mistakes.

The Reds' full-strength lineup will be a significant advantage, and they are expected to dominate the match from start to finish. 

Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Brentford
