Liverpool will host Brentford in their second Premier League game of the season on August 25. It will also be their first competitive game at Anfield under Arne Slot.
The Reds had a good start to their campaign as they beat newly promoted Ipswich Town 2-0 at Portman Road in their first game. After a goalless first half, Liverpool switched their gears in the second half and secured a comfortable win.
Brentford, meanwhile, also started the 2024-25 season with a win. They beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium in an exciting clash. They will look to continue this momentum when they take on the Merseysiders on Sunday.

Liverpool vs Brentford Prediction
Both sides had a winning start to their campaign despite not looking at their best in those games. They will be happy with the points but will be keen to improve this Sunday.
It is Liverpool’s first game of the season at Anfield and the home support will be a big boost for them. Moreover, Brentford are missing some important players and if Ivan Toney doesn’t play again, it could be a major absentee against a tough opponent. Hence, the Reds should win this one.
Predicted Score: Liverpool 3-1 Brentford
