Liverpool vs Brentford Match Preview: Key Injuries and Impact

Liverpool host Brentford at Anfield on 24 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 38, with D. England appointed as referee. Liverpool sit 5th on 59 points, while Brentford arrive 9th with 52 points.

Liverpool Availability

Liverpool face a lengthy absentee list. S. Bajcetic (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. C. Bradley (Knee Injury) is sidelined. H. Ekitike (Achilles Tendon Injury) is sidelined, a major blow given his 11 goals and 4 assists. W. Endo (Foot Injury) is sidelined. G. Leoni (Knee Injury) is sidelined. In addition, there are key doubts: Alisson (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, which could significantly alter the goalkeeping setup. J. Frimpong (Injury) is doubtful. A. Isak (Injury) is doubtful, potentially removing another attacking option.

Brentford Availability

Brentford’s issues are lighter but still notable. F. Carvalho (Knee Injury) is sidelined. R. Henry (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, weakening the left side of defence. A. Milambo (Knee Injury) is sidelined.

Impact Summary

Liverpool lose significant attacking output through the absence of H. Ekitike, who has contributed 11 goals and 4 assists in league play. However, major creators D. Szoboszlai (6 goals, 7 assists), Mohamed Salah (7 goals, 6 assists) and C. Gakpo (7 goals, 5 assists) remain available. Brentford retain their main attacking weapon Thiago, whose 22 goals and 1 assist underpin much of their offensive threat, meaning Liverpool’s defensive resilience will be fully tested despite their own injury concerns.
