A later-than-late Premier League match is still to come: it’s Brentford v Liverpool, which kicks off at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Liverpool boss Arne Slot makes three changes from Wednesday’s win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Slot is forced into two of them, as Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong are injured.

Andrew Robertson also drops to the bench.

Conor Bradley, Milos Kerkez and Mohamed Salah are brought into the side after their midweek absences.

Ryan Gravenberch hasn’t recovered in time, so he misses out again.

The Brentford team news is more straightforward: they’re unchanged from Monday’s win over West Ham United.

LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Kelleher, Ajer, Van den Berg, Collins, Kayode, Henderson, Yarmoliuk, Damsgaard, Schade, Thiago, Ouattara.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Henry, Pinnock, Jensen, Nelson, Carvalho, Onyeka, Lewis-Potter, Janelt.

Liverpool XI: Mamardashvili, Bradley, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Jones, Gakpo, Salah, Ekitike.

Subs: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Robertson, Nyoni, Morrison, Ngumoha.

    How to get Mbeumo? Kudus would be going

    A. Woltemade down to Welbeck/Thiago
    B. Enzo down to Palhinha
    C. Munoz or VVD down to Richards

      C vvd to richards

    Guess we got lucky with Rodon last night, but Mbeumo*2 over Haaland cap will likely kickstart the season for me.

      Massive boost here too, held him since gw3

      Essential

        4 times you've posted this 😆

        Did you captain Mbeumo? Fair play if you did.

        We did get lucky with Rodon. But he has scored 3 goals this season for club and country already; against Belgium, Bournemouth, and West Ham. He's clearly a goal threat.

        1. Slitherene

          Team linked, got him in this GW and C him

              Nice. Great captaincy punt.

              I'm a big Mbeumo fanboy, but I wouldn't have dreamed going away from Erling (C) with his monstrous form and data. Well played!

                Hoping he blanks somehow

              Fair play fella. Brilliant transfer and bold captaincy choice. If you can’t enjoy weeks like this, there’s no point playing the game. Well played

        GTG?

        Raya
        Gabriel - Munoz - Cash
        Saka - Mbuemo - Semenyo - KDH
        Haaland - Mateta - Woltemade

        Dubravka - King - Gudmundsson - Reinildo

        2.7 m in the bank.

        Plans ahead -

        GW 11 - KDH âž¡ Sarr
        GW 12 - Save FT
        GW 13 - Raya âž¡ Donnarumma
        GW 14 - Sarr + Cash âž¡ Minteh + Timber

            LOL

          • Moon Dog
              1 month, 12 days ago

              Sarr in for KDH looks great. But I would ditch the GW13 and GW14 plans tbh. Raya and Sarr look solid long term picks, injury and form permitting. Who knows what happens with Europe though. Cash I would look to move out though.

                • 12 Years
                1 month, 12 days ago

                Sarr off to AFCON in 15

                Hence the plans

                1. Moon Dog
                    1 month, 12 days ago

                    Oh I didn't realise he left that early give AFCON starts on 21 Dec!

                    A lot can happen between now and then, but I think I'd prefer Ndiaye over Minteh. Something to worry about closer to the time though, not worth any energy yet.

                    • 7 Years
                    1 month, 12 days ago

                    15 he'll play right?

            • _Greg
              • 15 Years
              1 month, 12 days ago

              Caicedo to Bruno for a hit? Rest of midfield is Gordon, Sarr, Saka and Mbeumo.

              1. Feanor
                • 16 Years
                1 month, 12 days ago

                Why would you want to keep Gordon? Guy hasn’t returned since January 25 and keeps gettting subbed early

                1. _Greg
                  • 15 Years
                  1 month, 12 days ago

                  He's on the chopping block, but I can stomach a game vs West Ham.

            • Feanor
              • 16 Years
              1 month, 12 days ago

              What’s the best way to finance Gordon -> Mbeumo?

              A) Porro to Richards

              B) Pedro to Thiago

              1. Hairy Potter
                • 10 Years
                1 month, 12 days ago

                B

                  • 10 Years
                  1 month, 12 days ago

                  Though A looks like a good move as well. Maybe one this GW and the other the following GW and bank the funds for later FTs.

                  1. Feanor
                    • 16 Years
                    1 month, 12 days ago

                    If I do B I could just afford to do Grealish to Mbeumo and keep Gordon one more week

              2. Slitherene
                • 7 Years
                1 month, 12 days ago

                A

                B

              • 15 Years
              1 month, 12 days ago

              Saved a massive 2 FT and have 1.8 Bank

              Pope-(Dubravka)
              Timber-Guéhi-van de Ven-Senesi-Gudmundson
              Saka-Kudus-Semenyo-Reijnders-Caicedo
              Haaland-JPedro-Gyökeres

              Good Idea?
              JPedro+Kudus to Mateta+Mbeumo - 0.2 Bank

              1. Feanor
                • 16 Years
                1 month, 12 days ago

                Could you do Pedro to Thiago and and Reijnders to Mbeumo?

            • Hutchiniho
              • 7 Years
              1 month, 12 days ago

              Woltemade and Palhinha
              Or
              Thiago and Kudus
              ?

              Who needs to be transferred out first:
              A) Virgil
              B) Cucurella

              Is bruno and mbeumo 1 too many united mids?

              Thanks

              1. Moon Dog
                  1 month, 12 days ago

                  Both are top 2 mids for xGI and they've had a tough start fixture wise. Personally don't believe in coverage, so if the best 3 mids are from the same team I'd have all 3. I have both and have no plans to change that.

                  If anything, it’s not enough. Who’s your 3rd Utd player out of interest?

                1 month, 12 days ago

                Sounds like a funny question but who is a better pick

                A. Thiago. Great form, on penalties, but fixtures upcoming not very good.

                B. Delap. Returning from injury, plays for a team that needs a striker. Good fixtures upcoming.

                  • 16 Years
                  1 month, 12 days ago

                  A

                  I’m done with Chelsea

                    1 month, 12 days ago

                    I already have Caicedo and JP but want to triple up.

                What to do with Ekitike lads?
                Hold or release?
