Liverpool Faces Brentford Amid 2025 Challenges

Liverpool, currently leading the Premier League, face a challenging away game against Brentford, who are strong at home and recently managed a 2-2 draw with Manchester City. Despite a rocky start to 2025, including a Carabao Cup defeat and draws in their last two league matches, Liverpool remain top with a six-point lead over Arsenal, who have a game in hand. Liverpool's Darwin Nunez returns from suspension, but Diogo Jota is doubtful due to an injury, while defensive issues persist with Joe Gomez's injury and potential rest for Ibrahima Konate. Brentford anticipate the return of left-back Rico Henry but are missing several key players due to injuries. Gary Neville predicts a 2-1 victory for Liverpool, citing their strong forward line led by Mohamed Salah. The match will not be broadcast live in the UK due to the 3pm blackout, but highlights will be available on Match of the Day.
