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.

Above: Gameweek 6 captaincy and effective ownership stats among the top 10,000 FPL managers

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.

    Will have a frontline of Lukaku, Antonio and Ronaldo next week(without a hit) before I decide who stays between Lukaku and Ronaldo in my GW8 WC. Looking forward to next week already, as this one hasn't been very pleasant.

      Got Salah and Trent too?

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Have Salah

    The bad thing about a good start is the constant red arrows that follow. 😀

    1. Magic Zico

      Back to the real FPL ... honeymoon is over! 😛

    There are absolutely no good forwards in the game right now except Antonio. It's embarrassing

    1. Top Lad Dakes.

      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku? ASM worth a mention. Toney doing okay for his price too

  4. Cilly Bonnolly

    Should have just captained him. He’s on another level this season.

  5. JJO
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Just to say one more time
    F off Ronaldo

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

    So we just captain Salah each week?

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

    Salah the asolute best!

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

      *absolute*

  8. Hazz

    Oh poop

  9. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    Salah goal eclipsing my differential Jota goal.

    Really need to find a way to get the annoying sod in

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years

      How can you still not own Salah? Suicide

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Needed a -8 to get this week.

        Likely doing Kane/Bruno to Lukaku/Salah next week (-4), and I’m right back on it

      Crikey school boy error

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

        Served me well last year 😉

    3. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm thinking of Ronaldo Grealish to Salah 8m forward

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Looks a good move

  10. Rainer

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Brentford will get another here.

    Toney is causing havoc and Mbeumo's runs are brilliant.

  11. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I had a choice

    A) Kane to Ronaldo c
    Or
    B) Fernandes to Salah c

    Obviously I chose the wrong one as per. Didn’t want to take a hit. Kane will score too

    1. Saka Rice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Serves you right for even having Kane lol that was a terrible decision sorry to say. There's a reason hardly anyone has him he's very poor value this year compared to other players around the same price

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Kane hatty incoming, loves Arsenal

        • 10 Years

        Cold sweats.

  15. Neevesy
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Have Salah but ML rival has captained, it's annoying having a player and not wanting them to score.

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Used to feel the same too, but I've made peace that if you pick the right players and choose your captaincy well on most days, you'll do well in the long run.

  16. Top Lad Dakes.

    Didn’t get to watch the game today - how was Ronaldo? Is he the issue, or more United being bad as a team / Ole?

    Thinking of selling for Lukaku but obviously it’s Ronaldo…

  17. Steinburg FC
