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.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Looks like a 433 to me, Gakpo in the midfield.

  5. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

    Couldn’t have C Salah, not that brave I guess lol. And got lot to lose too. Well played to all who have!:)

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

  6. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    1. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Exactly

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Especially if you knew he was going to play 90 minutes

  7. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Benching headache next week, need to play one out of Olise (BOU) TAA (lei) Shaw (WOL) Alvarez (eve). Which one?

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      I’d bench Olise. BOU should be resolute

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Need to play just one

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Would help if I could read eh?

          Horrific having to bench 3 of those! I’d probably play Alvarez

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 19 days ago

            Yeah so many cheap BHA and NEW to play 😛 thx

            1. Utopsis
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 19 days ago

              I’ve got Murphy but I don’t think I’ll be playing him tbh

  8. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Mbeumo goal offside.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Is it though?

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Ugh it is... nuts.

      2. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Yes

      3. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        easily

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          ‘Twas tight

      4. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Easily

  9. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Fabinho is terrible

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Lucky he didn't get a YC for that foul Onyeka earlier, probably would have been second YC now.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Deffo

    2. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      His form has fallen sharply over the last season or so. He may well leave in the summer I think.

  10. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Brentford are awesome. Lowest wage bill & playing like this. They're moneyballing the frick out of the league.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      The moneyball owners went to Southampton a while ago and it’s not quite been as effective

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Very impressive and well run football club

    3. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      The current day Wimbledon.

  11. tim
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Oh wow Jota started, I benched him for Isak 😀

    Great stuff

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Liverpool better start looking for another cb

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Yeah van dijk is past it for me

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Maybe two while they're at it

      1. maditass
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Konate is really good, he just has to learn to not be so aggressive at times

  13. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Would you start Grealish (eve) over one of March or Mitoma next week? Think he’s on the bench in back to back weeks for me now

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      No, I'd play both doublers

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Not sure, but it's kind of "fool me twice" as we like will se rotation this time as well.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        *Likely

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      No. I’m even starting Toney at home to WH over him.

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      I'm benching him over Mac & Mitoma.

  14. Skout
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Is it me or is TAA actually not getting as forward as before in this new role?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      It's basically the same role as Stones in City

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      More central. He’s getting in good positions for assists though.

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      More of a playmaker than winger now?

    4. Always a Red Devil
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      hes like a quarterback now i hate to say it but hes a lot better at this than right back

    5. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      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

    6. maditass
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Him and gakpo is taking space from eachother so that TAA isnt able to run around and have as much fun as the other games 😛

  15. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    A. Raya to Pope
    B. Jota to Isak

        ive owned them for 22 games combined ,they have 6 goals and 2 assists and 2 capt fails between them,just owned them at the wrong time

    2. Always a Red Devil
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

    3. DARE TO BISCAN

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 19 days ago

    Crikey

    Next week I have to bench one of
    Grealish/Rashford/Jota

    Currently on Grealish because xMins

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Yep, I'd bench Jack

    2. Zimo

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Wasted that beautiful Trent pass...

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        insane he didn't even take a shot

    2. Always a Red Devil
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      85 million he cost lol

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        20 mill more than Haaland was it?

        1. Always a Red Devil
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          yep and about 75m more than we paid for van nistlerooy

      2. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        what a waste of money lol

    3. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      hes forced jota out to the left as well

  22. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    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.

  23. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    U reckon Enciso plays? He's coming on for Grealish for me.

  24. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Watkins or Jota > Wilson?

  25. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Whatcha reckon?

    A) Mee -> SCHAR (bench Shaw/ESTUPINAN)
    B) Alvarez -> WILSON (bench MARCH)

    Kepa
    Shaw, TRIPPIER, ESTUPINAN
    Salah, Bruno, Rashford, MITOMA, MARCH
    Haaland, ISAAK

    Raya, Alvarez, Mee, Ake
    Bank 2.0m, 1FT, no chips

  26. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    I so need Bruno, Isak, Shaw blank and Estupinan with no attacking return.

  27. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Gakpo is sooo deep today

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      The less we know about your sex life the better...

      1. Paqueta Rice

      3 years, 19 days ago

      Wtf Gakpo?!? Missed from 2 yards

  28. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Feels like it's just a matter of time before Pool loses that CS

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Hopefully

  29. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      If he was 25 i'd take him as Kane's replacement when he leaves this summer

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        The Leonardo Di Caprio of Football Scouts...

        1. Royal5
