Brentford host Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday 17 October 2026, with kick-off at 5pm EAT. Our Brentford vs Liverpool prediction backs the home side not to lose: Brentford are unbeaten in the league and sit fourth, while Liverpool are without the suspended Ryan Gravenberch and have several key players struggling for fitness.
Liverpool head into this one after a humbling 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City last weekend, their first loss under Andoni Iraola. A big Champions League win in midweek lifted the mood, but this trip to west London is a real test of where the Reds stand.

Brentford Form: Unbeaten and Hard to Break Down
Keith Andrews has built a side that simply does not lose. Brentford have won two and drawn four of their six league games, scoring 12 and conceding six. The highlight so far was a 3-0 win over Chelsea, and last weekend they showed real character to come back from 2-1 down and draw 2-2 at Aston Villa.
Andrews says his squad is in a really good place, and the numbers back him up. Brentford have scored in every one of their last five matches, and with home support behind them they will fancy their chances against a Liverpool side missing key players.
Brentford Team News
Dasilva, Milambo and Furo are out. Schade (shoulder) and Schuster (ankle) both went off at Villa Park last weekend, but Andrews says both have been training this week. Collins (calf) and Damsgaard (ankle) are also getting closer to a return.
Liverpool Form: Bouncing Back From the City Defeat
Liverpool’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City at Anfield was a painful afternoon. Gravenberch was sent off for a second yellow card just after the hour, and City made the extra man count. We covered that match in our Liverpool 0-3 Man City report.
The response came in Europe. Liverpool won 6-3 away at LASK in the Champions League on Wednesday, a game full of goals that showed both their attacking threat and their defensive frailty. In the league they have won two, drawn three and lost one, with seven goals scored and seven conceded.
Liverpool Team News
Gravenberch serves a one-match ban after his red card against City. Ekitike (Achilles), Bradley (knee) and Leoni (knee) are all out. Szoboszlai, Isak and Gakpo all picked up knocks on international duty, and Iraola says Liverpool will have to wait and see. They are unlikely to start. On the positive side, Chiesa and Endo are available again after missing the LASK game for eligibility reasons. Iraola has said his side need everyone and that he will rotate again.
Head to Head
Brentford have caused Liverpool problems recently. The last meeting ended 1-1 at Anfield on 24 May 2026. Before that, Brentford beat Liverpool 3-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium on 25 October 2025, so the Bees will take confidence from their last home game against the Reds.
Brentford vs Liverpool Odds
Bookmakers make Brentford slight favourites, a sign of how the market rates Liverpool’s injury problems. Typical prices are around 2.30 to 2.55 for a home win, 3.75 for the draw and about 2.85 for a Liverpool win. Odds change quickly, so check the latest prices on JetBet before you bet.
Brentford vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool have more star quality, but they are missing Gravenberch in midfield and could be without three more senior players. Iraola is also rotating after a midweek trip to Austria. Brentford, meanwhile, are fresh, settled and unbeaten in the league.
That makes the home side the safer side to back. A Liverpool win cannot be ruled out, but Brentford have already taken points off strong sides this season and look well set up to do it again. Both teams have also scored freely in recent weeks, so goals are likely.
Our pick: Brentford or draw (double chance 1X). As a second option, consider both teams to score.
