Brentford will face Liverpool this weekend with a significantly depleted squad, as head coach Thomas Frank confirmed that several key players remain sidelined. Kristoffer Ajer, Josh Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Gustavo Nunes, Ethan Pinnock, and Igor Thiago are all unavailable due to injury, posing a significant challenge for Frank as he prepares to face the league leaders.
Liverpool, too, has its injury concerns. Diogo Jota is doubtful after picking up a minor issue during his substitute appearance against Nottingham Forest. Luis Diaz missed training due to illness, and it is uncertain if he will be available for the match. Additionally, Joe Gomez is still sidelined, further complicating Liverpool’s squad selection.
Despite these challenges, Liverpool will need to contend with Brentford’s strong home form, with the Bees boasting one of the best records at their stadium in the Premier League. Given Liverpool’s recent struggles, having won only one of their last five matches, this promises to be a difficult and competitive encounter.
