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.

      It really doesn't make sense

    Where was that last week jota!

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes this. Assume you had him captain last week like me then? How he missed that chance from about 2 yards out I will never know.

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

        Yep haha

        Horribly punished for going differential. But better rewarded (so far) this week with Antonio

  3. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pinnock coming off

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

      Or maybe not...

  4. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jota hates baps

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

      More of a sandwich man

    2. GROBARI
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He will not hate when he scores his second

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

      Think after his 2nd goal even he’ll manage to get into the baps

  5. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Toney ➡ Ronaldo 2 weeks ago looks worse every single day haha

  6. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So satisfying when patience is rewarded - 2 FTs and points from previous underperformers banked 🙂

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Did Fabinho clear the ball onto Pinnock?

    Should be no assist?

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes he did

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Uep fabinho shoot it into Pinocchio leg

    3. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly

      Will be removed

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ban

  8. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jota can score?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      With his head

  9. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How is that a Toney assist?

    Fabinho kicked the ball onto Pinnock

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It shouldn't be. To be removed when FPL towers are informed

    2. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      seeing it from the first time from the reverse angle there it looks like henderson touch and then more importantly a Brentford midfielder gets a toe on it so yes shoulnd't be Toney's assist.

  10. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is that a toney assist? Touched a Brentford player on the way through

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't get a touch it seems.

  11. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Like I told everyone; keep Jota. Because I am transferring him out!

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

      Weird gameweek to transfer him out tbh

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Planning for the future. Had to downgrade him to afford Rudiger. Holding him would have meant no Rudiger at all. Sacrifices you need to make.

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

          I'm sure there's other ways you could afford Rudiger that don't involve getting rid of a 7.5m forward playing for a top 4 team.

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            No. Wasn't. Didn't want to downgrade Lukaku, Ronaldo or TAA.

  12. g40steve

    What happened to James just seen the yellow?

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

      Injured. Rolled ankle possibly.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Get rid?

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

          Fixtures good so wait for news(?) We play midweek.

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Collided with Grealish and twisted his ankle awkwardly.

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Grealish caught him after he caught him... Went off injured.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Super happy I sold Torres instead of Raphina with my FT!

      Torres has disappeared off the face of the earth seemingly

      1. Steinburg FC
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

  14. Devos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who should I get for GW7 to GW12? Three dilemmas for me.

    1. Rudiger or Alonso?
    2. Mount or Kovacic?
    3. Salah or De Bruyne

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rudiger
      Neither, but Kovacic if one
      Salah

  15. No_Mo_Salah?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

  16. Steinburg FC
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Might be the only person in FPL who decided to bring back in Toney this week with these fixtures especially after getting rid of him the previous week for Bamford.

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