Robertson and Alexander-Arnold return to Liverpool XI as Jota starts again

Liverpool’s trip to Brentford is the seventh and final Premier League match of the day.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST.

After a blank for Cristiano Ronaldo earlier in the day, captainers of Mohamed Salah have a chance to steal a march on those Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who decided against handing the armband to the Egyptian.

Jurgen Klopp has made four changes to the Liverpool team that beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at Anfield last weekend.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Andrew Robertson all return in defence, with Curtis Jones replacing the injured Thiago Alcantara in midfield.

James Milner, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas make way.

Diogo Jota again leads the line, with Salah and Sadio Mane either side of the Portugal international, but Roberto Firmino is back among the substitutes after a month on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank makes just the one change to the Bees side that won 2-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers last Saturday.

Frank Onyeka replaces Shandon Baptiste, who drops to the bench.

Ten Brentford players are ever-present starters in the Premier League this season.

  19. Philosopher's Stones

    Give us a great parting gift after weeks of painful loyalty, Jota.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      This

  20. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So my week relies on three defenders & a keeper!

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Livramento Gallagher for me but my season is over already

    2. Pointless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Same here but relying on two defenders and a goalkeeper. Worst week ever!

  21. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Everyone thinking Brentford would be good defensively is up there with everyone thinking Shaw would good this season!

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They have been good defensively

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This week, conceeded 3 goals already

        1. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Just to check...you know they've already played 5 times so far this season, right?

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Has Liverpool been a good defence this season? Conceded twice here

          Good defence doesn't mean nonstop clean sheets vs every calibre of opponent

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Better attack than defence. Third best defence after Chelsea and City. Trent is of course not regarded as a defender!

    2. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They have been good defensively this season. They're very well organized. This is by far the best team they've played.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Everyone on here was saying Liverpool would struggle to score and break them down this week

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They'd been behind for like 2 minutes all season until this match.

  22. Zilla

      Salah's improved in the BPS this season. Last season he needed a brace to get even 1!

  27. Phlajo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Shaw+Auba to White+Lukaku for -4?

    Have to do it tonight as I have exact cash.

      1. Phlajo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago
