There’s one more Premier League match to go today, and it comes from Anfield.

Brentford are the visitors to Merseyside, where kick-off is at 17:30 BST.

Jurgen Klopp has named an attacking-looking line-up, with Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo brought back into the side to join Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez.

Luis Diaz makes way, while Jordan Henderson is only fit enough for substitute duty.

Andy Robertson for Kostas Tsimikas at left-back is Klopp’s only other tweak.

Brentford make two changes from the side that started the 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen and Frank Onyeka return in place of Mikkel Damsgaard and Kevin Schade, who are both on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Konate, Salah, Jones, Gakpo, Jota, Robertson, Nunez, Alexander-Arnold.

Subs: Gomez, Milner, Henderson, Elliott, Tsimikas, Diaz, Carvalho, Matip, Kelleher.

Brentford XI: Raya, Hickey, Henry, Pinnock, Jensen, Jorgensen, Onyeka, Mee, Toney, Mbeumo, Janelt.

Subs: Schade, Dasilva, Wissa, Ghoddos, Ajer, Damsgaard, Baptiste, Roerslev, Cox.

      You’re right - he’s no longer breaking the lines but playing as a Deep-Lying Playmaker in the double-pivot when Liverpool have possession.

      From an offensive standpoint, he’s much more creative as he has more time and space on the ball, and can supply all 3 of Liverpool forwards from deep. Conversely, he’s much less of a goal threat as he’ll hardly ever venture into the box. Only viable route to goal is long shots.

      TL:DR - more assists, less goals

    Can’t believe I fell for such a short sighted transfer as Alvarez for Jota. Compete waste of transfer as he’s going next week. Got lucky with captaining Salah and not Haaland. Actually managed to watch the City match live. Haaland should have hauled. Alvarez was stuck on the wing with no great influence on the match at all and the only chance he had he blazed way over.
