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.

    Trent getting in great positions...

  2. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Trent not having attacking returns today is a huge disappointment

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

      This. One of very few differentials in my ML as well.

  3. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Is everyone going to have Wilson and Isak next week?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      No

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Only one. Majority won't have both.

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      I shall be, I have zero to lose

    4. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      No, lots have Botman or Schar

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

        Good point. Will actually make one of them a differential.

    5. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      I’m tempted depends on remaining results

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

      One of them

    7. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Only one, unsure which yet. Probably Wilson

    8. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Willock and Almiron decent alternatives

    9. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Likely just one of them

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

      Considering this Solanke/Watkins > both (-4)

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Same for me

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

          Has to make sense

    11. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Getting both because I will inevitably pick the wrong one if I don't. No doubt it'll be another Dennis/King situation, though.

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

      Already have one and not going the get another one

    13. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Maybe. Got Isak. Might get a Newcastle mid or Wilson next week.

  4. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    van Dijk clatters Toney in the back with a forearm and sends him to the floor.

    Carragher: No foul, nothing in that

    Konate slips under pressure from Hickey.

    Carragher: There was an arm in the back.

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Elbow in the face - “not sure that’s a foul”

      Get this man off comms

  5. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    My two points from Olise is looking like a real haul at the moment.

  6. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Tsimikas and Milner on
    Robbo and Jones off

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

    Brentford deserve something from this game, been very evenly matched

    1. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Difficult with no shots on target.

  8. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Gakpo you useless waste of space

  9. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Imagine Barca paying off those refs while Liverpool get it for free

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

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

    1. FantasyTony

    2. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Tough to do from the bench.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Whoops! Missed that sub… even worse then, what a terrible punt

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years

      I may have some news for you, mate

    4. DARE TO BISCAN

  11. ZimZalabim

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

    Come on Brentford!!

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

      yep lol

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

    How are you lot complaining about Liverpool when decisions like that have been happening all game

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

      neither salah or konate got a card there?? you got the benefit again

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

        😆 unbelievable bias

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    A Raya goal here would sum up this season

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

    Weird how fans are biased for/against their team/rivals. Some kinda coincidence? I dunno 😛

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      There’s bias there’s delusion

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

      If you're trying to say that Liverpool receive the appropriate amount of anti-bias from neutrals then you're deluded

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

        I live for it, don't get me wrong. Rent free in everyone's heads

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

        You honestly think neutrals dislike Pool? I think everyone has been pretty supportive of them keeping a dishonest City honest in the league the past few years as well as Europe.

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

        I wasn't. Weird how people are so irrational/frothing at the mouth, when it comes to comments online.

        LFC being more relevant to more people would attract more 'anti-bias', I agree. Also, outside of football. Politically, Liverpool is a separate entity to a lot of the country (the 'Establishment'). Which probably singles LFC out for a little more still.

        This is from an LFC fan... I feel what I've said is reasonable - reasoned out.

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

          I wasn't expecting such a well written response - upvoted

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

      at least klopp looked extremely grateful to the ref for the help

  16. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    1 pointer from Ake was tough
    But Jota's 2 pts off the bench for Grealish makes up for it.

  17. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    21 pts bagged for Salah/VVD, nice sign off for the day.

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

      30 for Salah (C), Gakpo and Trent. Shite rank but what da fk

  18. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Watkins to Isak or Wilson? Coin toss?

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

      Isak

      1. Crouching Tiger
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Which one is on penalties?

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Wilson

        2. Hairy Potter
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Depends who's on the pitch.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Wilson has more points on recent games?

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      With the info we have now, I think Isak has the higher xMins. Wait and see what happens tomorrow and next week. I won't be making the decision until the deadline, we may get a leak

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      It's hard to seperate them. Owning both Wilson and Isak would be the best, if you can pull it off without taking hits.

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Watch how Newcastle tomorrow and see how they line up.

  19. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Anyone having a good week?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      No but the tiniest green

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

      Nah

    3. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Think so. Kane/VVD/Salah have hauled, Haaland (c) didnt - 7 to go.

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Folks that kept Kane or moved Grealish to Mahrez

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        And Salah (c) over Haaland

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

        And captained Salah ...

    5. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Nah

    6. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Ederson didn't get booked for time wasting. Also made a save. Best part of my week so far.

    7. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Salah c + Mahrez taa win for me

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

        Wow that's like getting away with murder. Haaland could've scored 5

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Had to punt to catch rival and paid off !!

    8. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Grand. On the beer beer for 1st time since COVID. We're you asking about FPL? 😉

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

      Meh. My blankers and scorers are probably all high owned. Bit of a wash, so far

    10. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Yeah, at last.

    11. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Charles and Rod Hull seem to be doing okay.

    12. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Is 19 from 6 including captain any good?

    13. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Yep. 31 with 5 attackers to play n had Trent/Robbo. Looking at other scores in my Leagues I’m having a good week, but I think it’s just 1 of those low scoring weeks so far

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

    Will take the Salah points!

    1. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Im returning them. Just not good enough.

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

    Jota > Alvarez last minute, not great but luckily not punished 😛

  22. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Brentford with a peak Tony Pulis Stoke performance today

  23. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Really don’t get how I’ve made so many unlucky calls this season that seemed so good - this week was Jota > Alvarez for -4 after the team leak. Meanwhile my ML rival goes for Mahrez. Just staggering this game sometimes.

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

      I was hoping, by looking at your comments, that all your posts would incorporate your username as the start of the beginning sentence, but alas not.

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

        I didn’t think anyone was paying attention

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

          You don't need the first two words in that post...

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      It would have been far more unlucky had Jota got a return or too. If anything a little bit lucky that he didn't return when you sold him?

    3. Mirror Man
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Ah god love ya.

    4. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years

      Is salah to Bruno or KDB DGW37 worth it ?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Yes to Bruno. Depends on the league state for KDB in 37

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years

          Yeh v true
