Liverpool will lock horns with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday night as they hope to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Reds managed to earn a dominant 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt recently, which should give them some much-needed confidence ahead of this game.
Arne Slot will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first XI for this contest. Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister could both play from the start of this game.
4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup To Face Brentford
Defence
Giorgi Mamardashvili will feature in goal for the Reds after shipping in one goal in his last outing. Ibrahima Konate will function alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the heart of the Liverpool backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the game.
Dominik Szoboszlai will fill in as the right-back, while Andy Robertson looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them would look to go forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez will provide cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones will anchor the midfield for the Reds as they look to dictate the tempo of the game at the centre of the park.
The gifted trio of Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah will operate just ahead of them as part of Slot’s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Merseyside club are to secure a convincing win versus the Bees this weekend.
Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required. However, Ryan Gravenberch is unlikely to recover in time for this game as he continues to recover from his injury.
Attack
Hugo Ekitike will lead the line for the Merseyside club up top. He managed to score against his old club, Eintracht Frankfurt, earlier this week, which should keep him in high spirits ahead of this game.
Alexander Isak will probably be sidelined for this game because of a groin injury.
