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.

    Late to the party but JOTA!! The only player rivals don’t have, get in.

    Captain obvious

    Would really appreciate some thought here. Current team:
    Sanchez (Steel)
    TAA Rudi Marcal Duff Livra
    Salah Green Benny Sarr (Gil)
    Kaku Antonio Eduard
    1FT, 3.6 ITB

    I want to do 1.Marcal>Cancelo/Alonso
    2. Green+Gil>Raph+Gallagher
    3. Eduard>ASM/Jesus

    Which one is more priority? I was thinking of doing number 3 this GW but not quite sure who to get between ASM and Jesus. Both options will allow me to do 1 and 2 in the coming weeks

    42% don’t own Salah?

    Let’s see you 🙂

  28. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is the Salah captain goal not as damaging if you had Jota as well?

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

      Maybe. But some Salah cappers may also have Jota. In general if you're not capping Salah each point pushes you back just a touch.

    Fabinho is so so important at both ends...
