After a thumping 3-1 victory over Burnley, Liverpool are all set to battle Brentford in an away fixture in the Premier League on Saturday. They would like to continue the momentum and drop no points as the race to the league title intensifies.
With 54 points in 24 games, the Reds are sitting at the top of the points table. However, arch-rivals Manchester City are just two points off them with a game in hand. Hence, Jürgen Klopp‘s men will aim to secure all three points and leave no room for other teams to climb up.
4-3-3 Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Brentford
Defence
Regular starter Alisson Becker will come in for Caoimhin Kelleher and once again line up in goal after missing the last game due to illness. Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss the tie due to a knee injury and Conor Bradley is expected to replace him.
Ibrahima Konate will be available for the clash after suspension and will pair up with Virgil van Dijk at the centre-back. Andy Robertson will continue his operations in the left-back position.
Midfield
The trio of Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo, and Curtis Jones will continue to operate in the midfield as Dominik Szoboszlai and Thiago Alcantara will miss the contest due to injuries.
While Endo and Jones had decent outings against Burnley, Mac Allister wasn’t up to the mark. Hence, he should step up at the Gtech Community Stadium and help his side register a vital victory.
Attack
Earlier this week, The Reds received a moral boost when Mohamed Salah joined the training session after recovering from a hamstring injury. However, boss Jürgen Klopp will prefer the attacking trio of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, who have been impressive. Salah can come from the bench in the second half to get some game time.
