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

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

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

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

    Man, Liverpool have no attacking threat whatsoever from the left side. Kerkez is like a wasted player.

      Feel like I need one given their fixtures. But Ekitike seems the better pick.

      I owned him from 3-5, he blanked in all 3 games. Then I removed for Foden for his BUR bre EVE fixtures, who blanked in all 3.

      This week I've done Foden -> Gakpo, reversing the decision, so expect Gakpo to blank the next 3 😆

    Baffled at how Liverpool didn't know about Isak's terrible injury record?? He's had a problem with his groin for a few seasons now. It's Isak's massive weakness.
