The Brentford vs Liverpool Premier League clash is set to be an action-packed battle on the night of Saturday, October 25, between the two sides at Gtech Community Stadium, London.
With Liverpool still reeling from having lost their last three Premier League matches, the Reds are desperate to regain their winning touch in the league and get back into the Premier League title race. But they face a fresh and robust Brentford side, who have boasted a pretty good record at home this season and will look to get another big win at the Gtech Community Stadium by adding more misery to Liverpool’s form.

Liverpool Eager To Improve Away Form Against Sturdy Brentford
The Brentford vs Liverpool clash is going to be a late-night kickoff for the Matchday 9 of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign on Saturday, and it should be a fascinating battle between two polarising philosophies.
Even though the Reds did get a big win over Eintracht Frankfurt in their recent UEFA Champions League match, they are still on a three-match losing run in the Premier League and have lost their last two away matches in London!
Brentford have been a tough nut to crack at their home field this season, defeating Manchester United and Aston Villa, as well as holding Chelsea to a draw. Liverpool, however, have won their last five games against Brentford, and the last time they lost to the Bees was at the Gtech Community Stadium in the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.
Liverpool’s shaky away form in the Premier League in recent games, coming up against a confident Brentford side who have delivered eye-catching surprises against big teams at home this season, means the upcoming Brentford vs Liverpool clash should be a really eventful match-up.
Can Caoimhin Kelleher Make Liverpool Rue His Sale to Brentford?
Liverpool will be facing off against their former goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, whom they sold to Brentford for a decent fee in the 2025 summer transfer window. The reason for that is because of the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili, which forced them to sell the talented Irish goalkeeper. Kelleher, to his credit, has had a pretty good start to his career at Brentford, keeping two clean sheets and making 20 saves in eight Premier League games this season.
Kelleher will now look to come back to haunt his former side by producing a gritty performance against them on his new home turf. Kelleher will be pumped up to be a particularly sharp and proactive figure in goal, popping up with crucial reflex saves to frustrate Liverpool all game long.
If Kelleher can truly produce an eye-catching display full of big saves, he could inspire his Brentford teammates to snatch an important result against the defending Premier League champions.

Could Hugo Ekitike Pick up Form After Alexander Isak Setback for Liverpool?
The bad news for Liverpool is that Alexander Isak is injured again. The Swedish forward sustained a groin injury in their win over Eintracht Frankfurt and is unlikely to be able to feature in the upcoming Brentford vs Liverpool match. That could pose as good news for Hugo Ekitike, who now gets a clearer hand at operating as Liverpool’s number nine.
Ekitike scored in his recent return to Frankfurt and Liverpool have actually won every game in which the French forward has started and scored in the 2025/26 season so far.
The 23-year-old Frenchman will hope to continue his impressive form by troubling the Brentford defenders with his quick off-the-ball movement and finishing off chances clinically to solidify his hold on a starting role at Anfield.
