Brentford's Unbeaten Run: Can They Shock Liverpool?

Brentford faces Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium, looking to maintain their remarkable Premier League start. As of October 17, 2026, the Bees are one of the league's three unbeaten teams, currently sitting fourth and holding the longest home unbeaten streak, last tasting defeat in February. This resilience is partly credited to key signings like Mamadou Sangare, described as a 'Rolls Royce' player already on the radar of bigger clubs. Jannik Schuster has also emerged as a significant success, proving his worth after being brought in as a squad player.

Despite a recent 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, Liverpool arrives aiming to secure their third league win. The Reds will face a Brentford squad that has largely retained its core players from last season, with European qualification a clear objective. Caoimhin Kelleher has been a solid presence in goal for Liverpool, while former Reds like Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho have had mixed fortunes at their new club. Analyst Jake Murtagh predicts a 3-1 home victory for Brentford, anticipating key battles and a challenging match for Liverpool.
