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.

  22. dark91

    Jota finally repays the faith. Took to long though

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He's got 3 goals in 6 😆

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I know. But with the complaints over here you would think this is his first goal this season

        I only brought him last GW though on WC 😀

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

      3 goals in 6 game is more than decent

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Totally agree. 1st one that counts for me though as I brought him last GW

    3. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      3 in 6 for 7.6m that is more than expected

  23. Das Boot
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any other Kane (C) here?

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

      Kaptain Kane maybe

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He captained Bruno I think

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Kaptain Kane

    3. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just you. Could be gold this week though.

      1. Das Boot
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Missed the cut off point again this week, not paying attention

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

    Cool, so Greenwood > Raphinha it is. Thanks Jota! You just saved your behind.

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      This.

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      On the other hand, Firmino closer than Rashford

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino back might make the other move Better still

  27. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Salah. Assist or goal, thats not too much to ask for.

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Relax. Goal coming. Or two

    2. Gandalf

    Mbeumo has looked fantastic, really tempted to bring him in actually 😮

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      When fixtures turn both him and Toney could be interesting

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

        Yeah, anyway feels like having exciting mid priced players could be an exciting strategy this time!
