A later-than-late Premier League match is still to come: it’s Brentford v Liverpool, which kicks off at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Liverpool boss Arne Slot makes three changes from Wednesday’s win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Slot is forced into two of them, as Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong are injured.

Andrew Robertson also drops to the bench.

Conor Bradley, Milos Kerkez and Mohamed Salah are brought into the side after their midweek absences.

Ryan Gravenberch hasn’t recovered in time, so he misses out again.

The Brentford team news is more straightforward: they’re unchanged from Monday’s win over West Ham United.

LINE-UPS

Brentford XI:ย Kelleher, Ajer, Van den Berg, Collins, Kayode, Henderson, Yarmoliuk, Damsgaard, Schade, Thiago, Ouattara.

Subs:ย Valdimarsson, Henry, Pinnock, Jensen, Nelson, Carvalho, Onyeka, Lewis-Potter, Janelt.

Liverpool XI:ย Mamardashvili, Bradley, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Jones, Gakpo, Salah, Ekitike.

Subs:ย Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Robertson, Nyoni, Morrison, Ngumoha.

    How to get Mbeumo? Kudus would be going

    A. Woltemade down to Welbeck/Thiago
    B. Enzo down to Palhinha
    C. Munoz or VVD down to Richards

    Guess we got lucky with Rodon last night, but Mbeumo*2 over Haaland cap will likely kickstart the season for me.

        Did you captain Mbeumo? Fair play if you did.

        We did get lucky with Rodon. But he has scored 3 goals this season for club and country already; against Belgium, Bournemouth, and West Ham. He's clearly a goal threat.

              Nice. Great captaincy punt.

              I'm a big Mbeumo fanboy, but I wouldn't have dreamed going away from Erling (C) with his monstrous form and data. Well played!

              Fair play fella. Brilliant transfer and bold captaincy choice. If you can’t enjoy weeks like this, there’s no point playing the game. Well played

        GTG?

        Raya
        Gabriel - Munoz - Cash
        Saka - Mbuemo - Semenyo - KDH
        Haaland - Mateta - Woltemade

        Dubravka - King - Gudmundsson - Reinildo

        2.7 m in the bank.

        Plans ahead -

        GW 11 - KDH โžก Sarr
        GW 12 - Save FT
        GW 13 - Raya โžก Donnarumma
        GW 14 - Sarr + Cash โžก Minteh + Timber

              Sarr in for KDH looks great. But I would ditch the GW13 and GW14 plans tbh. Raya and Sarr look solid long term picks, injury and form permitting. Who knows what happens with Europe though. Cash I would look to move out though.

                    Oh I didn't realise he left that early give AFCON starts on 21 Dec!

                    A lot can happen between now and then, but I think I'd prefer Ndiaye over Minteh. Something to worry about closer to the time though, not worth any energy yet.

              Caicedo to Bruno for a hit? Rest of midfield is Gordon, Sarr, Saka and Mbeumo.

                  Though A looks like a good move as well. Maybe one this GW and the other the following GW and bank the funds for later FTs.

                  Both are top 2 mids for xGI and they've had a tough start fixture wise. Personally don't believe in coverage, so if the best 3 mids are from the same team I'd have all 3. I have both and have no plans to change that.

                Sounds like a funny question but who is a better pick

                A. Thiago. Great form, on penalties, but fixtures upcoming not very good.

                B. Delap. Returning from injury, plays for a team that needs a striker. Good fixtures upcoming.
