Robertson and Alexander-Arnold return to Liverpool XI as Jota starts again

Liverpool’s trip to Brentford is the seventh and final Premier League match of the day.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST.

After a blank for Cristiano Ronaldo earlier in the day, captainers of Mohamed Salah have a chance to steal a march on those Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who decided against handing the armband to the Egyptian.

Jurgen Klopp has made four changes to the Liverpool team that beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at Anfield last weekend.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Andrew Robertson all return in defence, with Curtis Jones replacing the injured Thiago Alcantara in midfield.

James Milner, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas make way.

Diogo Jota again leads the line, with Salah and Sadio Mane either side of the Portugal international, but Roberto Firmino is back among the substitutes after a month on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank makes just the one change to the Bees side that won 2-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers last Saturday.

Frank Onyeka replaces Shandon Baptiste, who drops to the bench.

Ten Brentford players are ever-present starters in the Premier League this season.

  15. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Isn't this a crazy week?

    Started with -16 🙂

    39(-16) with TAA, Salah, Gallagher and Livra to go and a drop of 70k so far which ain't the end of the world considering this will be a low scoring GW.

    If I had kept my GW5 team my rank would have been dead.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      how many points would you have so far without the hits?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Meaning my team from GW5?

  16. FPL Joker
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any news on James? If he’ll be ok for the next GW I may do Useless Norwich Defender to White.

  17. tangtastic

    As a Antonio Captainer I was feeling satisfied after the Utd game, relieved after hte West Ham game, and now anticipating the Liverpool game in fear of Salah..

    Jota brace please before he leaves my team, Salah 2pts.

  18. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Salah non-captainer positioned about 150k overall rank. Do I want him to score?

      Each point pushes you back a touch.

      Apt grav

  19. F4L
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Looking at the stats, that's a jammy Sarr haul.

  20. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Did Raphinha go off injured? If so how bad did it look?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      it's probably the same issue since before the Newcastle game. Both times he's been subbed off around 65 and that would've been pre-determined, he can't play 90 right now.

      Unless Bielsa says he's 100% fit before next GW he's probably going to be a doubt again.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      His thighs were iced up. Both of them. Odd as his hip was the problem. Who knows??

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Tough one as his fixtures are fantastic. But there are other similarly priced players in form like Sarr, Gray, Gallagher

    3. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He got a bang to the head and had ice packs on both legs as well as his hip issue

  21. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sarrnaldo promoted back to 2 baps!

    1. Scholes Out For Summer

      • 12 Years

      Indeed … let’s hope they deliver big to make up for the miserable GW so far.

  23. barton fc
    • 6 Years

    • 12 Years

    Can we have a dynamic duo display from Salah and Jota please … share the 6 goals and assists equally please.

  25. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is anyone thinking of letting go of Ronaldo and getting him back from GW14?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      😛 same Q just below

    2. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo Antonio Lukaku most likely with a couple of moves

  26. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Are people actually doing Ronaldo > Lukaku GW7 even if not WC-ing?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You'd have to expect the next few opponents won't be 11 men behind the ball.

    2. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely considering it. The funds could also help improve some key spots.

  27. squ1rrel
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Need a Saka haul

  28. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    FFS Antonio cost me 150k places with that goal.

  29. Forgetmeknot
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any reason to keep Bruno (not just missed penalty related question)?

  30. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    If Bruno stays on penalties is he a better option than Ronaldo? Is Vardy a better option than both?
