Liverpool travel to Brentford for Saturday’s late kick-off, aiming to prove their midweek European demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt was the turning point their season desperately needed.
A run of four consecutive defeats had put manager Arne Slot under significant pressure. Therefore, backing up the 5-1 win is crucial. The Reds must now end their own dismal run in the Premier League, having lost their last three matches – an unprecedented sequence where they conceded winners in the final ten minutes each time. Furthermore, they face a Brentford side they have dominated recently, but Slot must contend with significant new injury doubts to key players.
Liverpool team news
Arne Slot faces an anxious wait over the fitness of Ryan Gravenberch (ankle) and Alexander Isak (groin), both injured during the midweek win in Frankfurt. Their potential absence compounds existing issues, with Jeremie Frimpong ruled out alongside Alisson Becker and Giovanni Leoni.
Hugo Ekitike is fit and expected to lead the line if Isak is unavailable. Isak does, however, boast a remarkable record against Brentford, having scored in all four of his previous appearances against them – the best 100% scoring rate of any player against a single opponent in the competition. Mo Salah, who started on the bench in Frankfurt, is expected to return to the starting lineup.
