Brentford are forced into at least one change from their last Premier League outing with Shandon Baptiste suspended. Frank Onyeka and Saman Ghoddos are pushing to replace Baptiste in midfield for Thomas Frank's side. Marcus Forss scored a hat-trick against Oldham in the Carabao Cup in midweek but there is no way he replaces Bryan Mbeumo or Ivan Toney here. James Milner came down with illness in midweek and missed their 3-0 win over Norwich as a result. Trent Alexander-Arnold has missed Liverpool's last two games through illness but is expected to return here. Thiago has been ruled out against Brentford with a calf injury suffered last weekend, while Naby Keita may not be risked here after picking up a knock in midweek. Curtis Jones may be rewarded with his first Premier League start of the season as a result after his eye-catching display against Norwich. Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip will be reunited at the back after some rotation in defence across their last two matches.
Liverpool have won 9 of their last 10 matches (Premier League). Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 matches (Premier League). Liverpool have been winning at both half time and full time in 6 of their last 7 matches (Premier League). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Brentford's last 5 games (Premier League). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Liverpool's last 5 away games (Premier League). Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 10 matches (Premier League).
Brentford start the weekend in the top half of the Premier League with eight points from a possible 15. They have only lost one of their opening five games. Liverpool have made a flying start to the season and Jurgen Klopp has even managed to rotate his squad to keep players fresh. They are in a great place at the moment. Knowing at least one of their title rivals will drop points earlier in the day when Chelsea welcome Manchester City, this is a great opportunity for Liverpool to pull away. Brentford will certainly give Liverpool some problems but the away side are expected to run out winners in Saturday's late kick-off. 1:3
