Premier League 2025-2026: Brentford-Liverpool, the likely lineups

In Saturday’s packed soccer schedule (here, continuously updated, the probable lineups of numerous matches to be played throughout Europe on the day) there is also room for Brentford-Liverpool, which will face each other at 9 p.m.

.

The hosts will have to do without Antoni Milambo for the rest of the season: the champion ruptured his cruciate ligament with the Dutch Under-21 national team. Coach Andrews will rely on Igor Thiago up front, flanked by Schade. In the middle of the field Yarmolyuk, Henderson and Damsgaard, between the posts Kelleher. Five-man defense with Kayode and Lewis-Potter wide, Collins, Van den Berg and Ajer in the middle.

Arne Slot absolutely must pick himself up in the league after 3 consecutive defeats: the champions of England risk losing the wake of the very top of the class if they continue not to win. The Dutch coach won&#8217t be able to count on Jeremie Frimpong, who suffered a hamstring injury in the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen, and Alexander Isak is doubtful.

Still out is Alisson, who will be replaced by Mamardashvili. In front of the’former Valencia man will be Bradley, Konaté, Van Dijk and Kerkez, with Szoboszlai and Mac Allister setting up. Salah, Wirtz and Gakpo will be tasked with supplying the Ekitiké offensive terminal.
