Liverpool host Brentford today in the Premier League.

New Reds boss Arne Slot made a winning bow, beating Ipswich 2-0 but the promoted side were more than a match to their seasoned Premier League opponents for much of the game.

Brentford, meanwhile, ran out 2-1 winners over Crystal Palace but will know they will have to improve if they are to take further points off of a more-fancied opponent.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Liverpool vs Brentford is scheduled for a 4.30pm BST kick-off on Sunday August 25, 2024.

The match will take place at Anfield.

The Reds boss said on Friday: “On Tuesday he picked up a bit of an injury so let's see if he can train today.”

For Brentford, Ivan Toney is again expected to play no part amid ongoing certainty over his future. Otherwise, it's a case of as you were with Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry not back until next month and both Joshua Dasilva and Igor Thiago longer-term absentees.

Liverpool vs Brentford prediction

Liverpool were slow to get into their stride against Ipswich, but once they started to click they were out of sight. Brentford were also slow starters against Crystal Palace and found it harder to move up the gears.

The Reds in their first home game of the season should see this one out fairly comfortably.

Liverpool to win, 2-0.
