Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita are all with their respective national teams at AFCON. Thiago, Harvey Elliott, Nat Phillips and Divock Origi are all ruled out through injury. Curtis Jones provided thrust that Liverpool badly lacked off the bench against Arsenal in midweek and should have played his way into the starting XI here. James Milner looked awfully leggy in midweek and Alex Oxalde-Chamberlain should replace him in midfield. Sergi Canos trained on Friday in a boost for Brentford but a late decision will be made on Rico Henry after almost four weeks out with a hamstring problem. Thomas Frank could make two changes to the side that fell to a heavy 4-1 loss at Southampton in midweek with Mads Bech Sorensen and Mathias Jensen both returning to the side. Frank Onyeka is at AFCON, while David Raya, Charlie Goode and Josh Dasilva are sidelined through injury. Zanka and Julian Jeanvier are both close to a return for the Bees, but the trip to Liverpool comes too soon for both.
