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.

  • Robertson and Alexander-Arnold return to Liverpool XI as Jota starts again

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.

GAMEWEEK 6 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raja, Ajer, Jansson, Pinnock, Canos, Onyeka, Norgaard, Janelt, Henry, Mbeumo, Toney.

      No - the flag before the match was 50%. Now it is 75%

      Today was incredibly harsh on Bruno

      Greenwood's choice to shoot from an angle instead of giving Bruno a tap in when it was 0-0 in the first half & utd were on top was calamitous

      And then he misses the penalty - it's a cliche - but on another day that was an absolute haul for Bruno

      Rumours of his demise with CR7 on the scene may be greatly exaggerated

        I agree, very frustrating seeing Greenwood not only fluff that but a few other opportunities for Bruno, once their fixtures change I’ll want both, but whilst Chelsea’s are nice I’m keen on Lukaku, just not sure which to drop. Ronaldo ownership is scary but without pens…

        If James is out for a bit, Azpi likely plays on the right, so Rudi and Christensen should be regular starters, with Tilva/Chalobah 3rd CB. But it depends on news of James.

    Sanchez
    TAA, James, Semedo
    Salah, Jota, Raphinha, Doucoure
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Jimenez

    Steele; White, Sissoko, Livramento.

    1 FT 1.0 ITB

    I'm thinking my best move is Ronaldo -> Lukaku (c). White can come in for James if he's out and in GW8 I can do James to Cancelo.

    Thoughts?

        thinking Rudiger or Alonso, but the latter seems bit too risky

    I’ve been on a steady decline since gw1.
    Not decisive going after upside and playing too safe I think.

    Still have WC and think that be what I need to do to get back in the groove. Or maybe a hit to really attack something.

    Sanchez, Foster
    TAA, Shaw, Semedo, Duffy, Livramento
    Salah, Greenwood, Jota, Benrahma, Gilmour
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Jimenez

    1ft 0.1itb

    Any ideas?
