Unbeaten in six: Brentford host Liverpool, who are without top scorer Isak
Brentford, unbeaten in six, host Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday. Liverpool are without Alexander Isak, their top scorer in the league.
By FootieRadar Desk · Published · 2 min read
Brentford have not lost any of their last six games in all competitions, and four of their six league matches have ended level. That steady record has them fourth on 10 points, with Liverpool ninth on nine.
Liverpool arrive at the Gtech Community Stadium without Isak, and kick-off is at 5pm Kenya time on Saturday 17 October, with John Brooks refereeing. It is round seven of the Premier League.
Brentford's draws, Liverpool's swinging week
Brentford have scored 12 and conceded six in six league games, a goal difference of six. Both of their league wins were 3-0, against Tottenham and Chelsea, and the draws have filled the gaps between them.
Liverpool have scored seven and conceded seven, so their goal difference is level. Their week has swung hard: a 0-3 home defeat to Manchester City on 11 October, then a 6-3 win at Lask Linz in the Champions League three days later.

Liverpool's longer injury list
Isak, their top scorer with four league goals, misses out with a thigh injury. Szoboszlai (hamstring), Gakpo (ankle), Ekitike (Achilles), Gravenberch (red card), Bradley and Leoni (both knee) are also out, and Ngumoha is questionable.
Brentford are missing Furo (surgery) and Milambo (knock). Kevin Schade, their leading league scorer with three goals, is questionable with an injury, as are Collins, Damsgaard and Dasilva.
Liverpool hold the head-to-head edge
The sides have met five times in the Premier League, and Liverpool have won three. Two of those wins came at Brentford, in February 2024 and January 2025.
Brentford's only win in that run was a 3-2 victory in October 2025. The most recent meeting, in May 2026, ended 1-1 with Liverpool at home.
What the numbers and the market say
The market leans towards Brentford. At the time of writing, its view is 41% for a home win, 26% for a draw and 33% for a Liverpool win. Those figures are calculated from Pinnacle's odds with the bookmaker's margin removed, so they show the market's view, not a recommendation.
The league record points the same way. Brentford have lost none of their six league matches. Liverpool have the better last five in all competitions, with three wins to Brentford's two, but Brentford's unbeaten run is the stronger story on the numbers.
