Liverpool will be without Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konaté as they host Brentford at Anfield.

Diogo Jota has been thrust into the starting line-up ahead of Diogo Jota thanks to his good form in the cup competitions. 

Wataru Endō comes into midfield for Alexis Mac Allister who is serving a one-game ban following a yellow card in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Luton Town last week. 

Liverpool Lineup

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Gomez, Tsimikas, Endō, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Salah, Núñez, Jota

LFC Globe Verdict

With Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate seemingly injured given their omission from the squad, it’s a blow for Liverpool’s defence as they come up against a dangerous team in Brentford.

Diogo Jota has been in goalscoring form for Liverpool this season and he’ll net again as Liverpool will clinch a 2-1 victory at home.
