Matchday Live on LFCTV is due to start at 1:45 p.m. BST (12:45 UTC), with preview coverage, live audio commentary, and post-match reaction.

Latest Brentford and Liverpool team news
The injury reports below reflect official club updates published before the match. They are not confirmed starting lineups; check the Premier League Match Centre or club coverage close to kickoff for the team sheets.
Brentford availability
Head coach Keith Andrews said Kevin Schade and Jannik Schuster had returned to the grass during the week after shoulder and ankle injuries, respectively, but their workload still needed to be assessed. That update did not confirm either player’s availability for Saturday. Sepp van den Berg returned to the bench for the 2-2 draw at Aston Villa, while Mikkel Damsgaard and Nathan Collins were not in that squad and were described as closer to returning. Forward Kaye Furo remained sidelined after foot surgery, and Josh Dasilva had yet to appear in 2026/27 when the club published its update.
Liverpool availability
Ryan Gravenberch is suspended for this Premier League match after his sending-off against Manchester City. Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak, and Dominik Szoboszlai were still being assessed after missing Liverpool’s previous two matches with injuries sustained around the September/October international period. Manager Andoni Iraola left open the possibility that the trio could feature but said their status needed to be checked after training. Liverpool had also listed Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike on its injury register last updated October 12; consult the latest matchday squad news for any changes.
Recent form and what to watch
Brentford’s latest league outing was a 2-2 draw away to Aston Villa on October 10. Liverpool followed a 3-0 league loss to Manchester City with a 6-3 Champions League win over LASK in Austria on October 14. That European match leaves Liverpool with fewer than 72 hours between kickoffs, and Iraola said he expected to rotate his lineup again during the busy run of fixtures. The short turnaround makes the final team sheet especially useful for understanding Liverpool’s selection.
One matchup to watch is Liverpool’s chance creation against Brentford’s defensive shape. Brentford’s preview notes that the Bees try to steer opponents toward lower-probability attempts from outside the penalty area, while Liverpool have produced shots without consistently turning them into clear chances. Also watch how quickly Liverpool play forward under pressure and whether Brentford can make its transitions count. These are pre-match talking points, not guarantees about either team’s plan or the result.
