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.

      Even I would have scored that. Jota should have had an assist...

        If you had scored that, you would probably have been a better player than ronaldo and messi and wouldnt be a keyboard warrior on aforum. Jota shot that ball so hard that it's impossible to steer it into the goal with such short distance

    Hi everyone. Please I'd like to know if it's impossible to leave certain leagues once you've entered into them? I've maxed out my league slots so I'm trying to free up space for joining some potentially more exciting ones from next season and I can't seem to leave certain leagues as there's no "leave league" option available for them. Or can I only do this at the end of the season for certain leagues?

      When you restart for a new season you can auto enroll in your old leagues or not. But it's your choice, so just don't auto enroll and manually join the ones you want

        Thank you for your response. But that auto renews all your leagues and it's only a handful that I don't want to be in. I also don't have access to some leagues I still want to be in. So lose them all or stick I guess??

    Trent really is a poor defender. Yes very good at attacking and getting decent balls into the box but he can’t defend well. Countless times he is caught out of position.
