ShareLiverpool will finish a disappointing 2025/26 campaign with a home match against a Brentford side that can still qualify for Europe.By Graham RuthvenEuropean ambitionIf Brentford are to play European football next season, their route to the continent will have to go through Merseyside with Keith Andrews’ side facing a final-day showdown against Liverpool at Anfield.For Liverpool, the end of the season can’t come quickly enough. Arne Slot’s team have endured a disappointing 2025/26 campaign which has put the Dutchman under serious pressure.Liverpool still need a point to make sure of their place in the top five and next season’s Champions League, although a defeat might still be enough for the Reds depending on other results.Brentford, however, need three points to stand any chance of climbing above Brighton and Chelsea to qualify for next season’s Europa League or Conference League depending on how the final weekend of the campaign shakes out.No matter the outcome, the Bees have enjoyed a remarkable season which started amid fears of relegation. Andrews and his players have already proved a point by even being in continental contention.Key playersMohamed Salah will play his final game as a Liverpool player assuming Slot doesn’t drop him from the starting lineup following a social media post that made a thinly-veiled swipe at the Reds manager.The Egyptian has scored three goals in his last seven appearances and could sign off a glittering nine-year period on Merseyside with one last goal in front of the Anfield faithful.Dominik Szoboszlai has been Liverpool’s star performer this season, notching 13 goals and assists over the course of the Premier League campaign. He will pose a threat in and around the box, and from set pieces.Andy Robertson is another Liverpool icon who will play his final match for the club although Milos Kerkez could start ahead of the Scotland international at left back.Only Erling Haaland has scored more Premier League goals than Igor Thiago this season and the Brazilian forward, who was called up to the Seleção’s World Cup squad this week, will pose a physical threat for Brentford on Sunday.Mikkel Damsgaard has been Brentford’s creator-in-chief, leading the Bees for assists and Big Chances this season. The Bees need the Dane in top form at Anfield.Caoimhin Kelleher will face his former team after a disappointing outing against Crystal Palace last weekend in which the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper was partially at fault for both goals conceded.Team newsConor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike and Wataru Endo are all sidelined through injury and are working to regain their fitness in time for next season when Liverpool will be expected to perform more consistently.Florian Wirtz is an injury doubt while Salah’s place in the starting lineup is in doubt after the Egyptian winger’s social media post after the defeat to Aston Villa last weekend.Kevin Schade could return to the Brentford team after dropping to the bench for the 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace while Rico Henry is unavailable through injury.Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo are also expected to miss Brentford’s trip to Merseyside to take on last season’s Premier League champions.PredictionWe think this season might just have one last let down in store for the Anfield faithful: Liverpool 1-1 Brentford.(Cover image from IMAGO)You can follow every game from the Premier League with FotMob – featuring deep stats coverage, xG, and player ratings.
