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.

        Just lamenting the fact that I transferred him in for Alonso for 1 point haul in next two games.

  12. Top Lad Dakes.

      • 7 Years

  18. Walter White (WW)
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thanks Salah. Feel free to miss more!

  19. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Getting Salah next week and capping him every single week from now on so he can undo the damage he has given me since GW3!

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

      Against City? I will be getting him week after

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not risking it anymore

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Captaining him against City is the right move

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Differential captain at least!

  20. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Well that was heart in mouth.

    Thanks Salah

  21. dark91

    You ain't no Messi man. Just bury it

  22. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lol! Déjà vu?

  23. Tripleh123
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Going foward next week, which one should be transferred out first?

    a) Greenwood
    b) Jota

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      greenwood

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

      Has to be B

      1. Tripleh123
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Care to explain why?

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

          Yes, Jota faces City who got the best defence this season while Greenwood faces Everton at home.

    3. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B because I tripled up on Liverpool.

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

      Greenwood will probably start next week, while Jota probably won't. And even if he does, has Ciy. I'd say B.

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

        *city

    5. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I don't like the look of United attacks today, but ...

      Jota will face City with Firmino not playing during IB.
      Greenwood will face Everton at OT.

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

    So wasteful. Salah, Jota and Mane the past few weeks. Should’ve had 50 points more between them.

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

      Well, the Liverpool are freeflowing after last season's struggles at least. Much improved in attack.

  25. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    would you do jota to raphinha ?

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

      If Raphinha isn't injured.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        yes of course.

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

      No

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        cheers

  26. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Come on Jota, is one more goal and 3 baps too much to ask for?

  27. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Game week rank of 7,890,363

    I'm nearly the lowest ranked played in FPL this week and I bet millions didn't update their team and millions of others don't know anything about football.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

  28. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on the early transfer?

    Shaw+Jota > Alonso+Raphinha for free

  29. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Why is Andy taking right side corners?

  30. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
