Brentford vs. Liverpool: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 26

Draws: 5

Liverpool and Brentford is a fixture with a relatively sparse history given that the clubs have only locked horns on 26 occasions over the years, though the Reds' clashes against the Bees have become a staple since the Londoners' promotion to the Premier League in 2021.

As expected, the Merseysiders boast the lead in this head-to-head with 16 wins compared to Brentford's five, while a further five matches have ended honours even - including a 3-3 draw during their inaugural Premier League showdown in September 2021.

The Bees have lost seven of their last 10 league games against Liverpool, only avoiding defeat in a 3-1 victory at the Gtech Community Stadium in early 2023, as well as a 3-2 triumph at home in October 2025 and a 1-1 draw at Anfield in May 2026.

That stalemate will be remembered both as the day that Mohamed Salah waved goodbye to Liverpool after an incredible nine years at Anfield, and the day that Keith Andrews's men missed out on European football.

In Arne Slot's first taste of action against Brentford, Liverpool strolled to a 2-0 home success in August 2024, as Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah came up with the crucial contributions, before an identical win at the Gtech in January 2025 courtesy of a dramatic Darwin Nunez double in added time.

Prior to handing the reins over to Slot, Jurgen Klopp masterminded three straight wins against Brentford, who were convincingly swept aside by Liverpool in both of their 2023-24 meetings, losing 3-0 at Anfield and 4-1 on their own patch.

The timeless Salah was on target in both of those affairs - making the net bulge twice at Anfield and once at the Gtech Community Stadium - and at least one of these sides have scored three or more goals in five of their Premier League meetings.

Most recently, Andoni Iraola brought his Reds down to London in October 2026, and headed back to Liverpool with all three points after a dramatic 2-1 win at the Gtech that saw two Brentford players sent off.

The Merseysiders had a number of early chances that day and even saw a penalty overturned by VAR, but Keane Lewis-Potter gave the Bees the lead with a 44th-minute header. Unfortunately for the Englishman, his teammate Yegor Yarmolyuk was dismissed moments later for a headbutt on Jeremy Jacquet.

Iraola's side stepped up the intensity in the second half, equalising through Victor Munoz around the hour mark, before Alexander Isak completed the turnaround eight minutes after. Vitaly Janelt would be given his marching orders in stoppage time for a second yellow, following a tactical foul on 18-year-old Rio Ngumoha.

During Brentford's prolonged absence from the top tier, their only meetings with Liverpool came in knockout circumstances, including in the 1988-89 FA Cup quarter-finals, where the Reds strode to a 4-0 victory.

Liverpool also ran out 8-1 aggregate winners in the second round of the 1983-84 League Cup, as well as prevailing 2-1 in the 1974-75 edition, and the Merseyside giants are on a 10-game winning streak against Brentford at Anfield, keeping clean sheets in eight of them.

The capital outfit have to go back over 87 years for their most recent victory over the Reds on Merseyside, edging a seven-goal spectacular 4-3 in the 1937-38 First Division, where legendary Manchester United manager Matt Busby was among the Liverpool starters.
