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.

    Trent is such a liability in the air

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

      All-round liability when it comes to defending

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just a liability in general defensively

    Blew it up, ref!

    And in one day, the pendulum swings back to City...

      I don't understand these comments. Acting like City have some huge lead now, they've barely caught up.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Pendulum swings doesn't mean huge lead

          1. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            It's a 2-3 point difference on Chelsea/Liverpool/Man U, not exactly a pendulum swing 6 weeks into the season.

      Took Toney out of my team this week because of the fixtures but think he'll be back in by GW9. Brentford look great and he's a quality finisher!

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Ronaldo to Toney looks great for GW9 honestly

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

        Yeah want him back by GW10

      We're coming up to Antonio time

      Salah should’ve just curled it like that cat in the snow meme. That’s what he does.

        I know! It's Brentford in the PL and not WBA.

    9. Postman Ty

      Brilliant that between the two managers.

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

      Ok, I’ve got away there. Phew

      1. Roy Hudd
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Apart from the 14 points Salah cappers have got...

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

          True, have Jota at least.

          Salah was -8 for me to get in because of Bamford to Antonio so waiting has paid off

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

      How have the fortunes changed for Brighton.. top of the league soon!

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

      Raya save point

    13. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Guess no chance Toney assist for 3rd?!?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Trent set it up

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • 14 Years

        no

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

        No Wissa had a blocked shot after Toney’s touch. He then followed up a rebound techincally.

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

        Taught he got something on at first glance but on the slow motion it looked like he got noting on it.

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

      Well that was an entertaining match. 🙂

    15. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Brilliant Brentford 😮

    16. Revival

      Raya has been fantastic today

      1. A. PRISE
        • 3 Years

        Annoyingly amazing

    17. Thanos
      • 2 Years

      Antonio cappers the winners 😆

      Is Christensen Nailed?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He might be if James is out

    19. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Suddenly not feeling too down after United’s loss earlier! Chelsea & LFC also dropping points feels good.

      A single point separates 5 teams at the top! Interesting season.

      Brighton go top of the league with a win on Monday night.

        If they do we'll need to suffer the endless 'can they do a Leicester?' coverage from Sky Sports

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Nah, Southampton went top about this time last season.

      3. F4L

        bitter sweet for Brighton fans, Potter is now getting too much attention for their liking I imagine

    21. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Atwell is a great ref...for the favelas

    22. Steve The Spud
