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.
