Team news
Brentford will have to make do without Shandon Baptiste, Kristoffer Ajer and Aaron Hickey, but Ivan Toney could feature despite being stretchered off against West Ham (opens in new tab) on Friday. Frank Onyeka and Thomas Strakosha are both doubts.
Liverpool will be unable to call upon the services of Luis Diaz, Arthur Melo, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones.
James Milner, Harvey Elliott and Roberto Firmino could be fit enough to make the bench, while Fabinho and Andy Robertson need to be assessed. Cody Gakpo is unlikely to make his debut here.
Form
A 2-1 victory over Leicester (opens in new tab) on Friday was Liverpool’s fifth in a row, a streak which has lifted them back into Champions League contention.
Brentford are on an excellent run themselves, having gone five games without defeat in the Premier League.

VPN guide
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
