Liverpool face a tough away trip as they look to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League table. The Reds are off to a dangerous start today as they head to London to take on Brentford.
It’s been a mixed week for Jurgen Klopp with injuries up front; A big promotion was quickly followed by a serious promotion. Firstly, Mohamed Salah returned to training and action this afternoon. However, on the other hand, Trent Alexander-Arnold recovered from the knee injury he suffered against Burnley last weekend and was away from the field again. The problem also means he will miss next week’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.
Joe Gomez returned to work after missing last week due to illness, but Alisson Becker suffered a knee injury while recovering. Meanwhile, Conor Bradley made a comeback after being merciful. Ibrahima Konate also returned from a one-off ban for Arsenal’s sending off. Winning today is important for Liverpool. With City just two points behind with a game in hand, the Reds can’t make any more mistakes between now and the end of the season. This makes Klopp’s choice today very important.
My starting XI: Kelleher; Gomez, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Jones, Gakpo; Jota, Núñez, Díaz
Predicted scoreline: 3-1 to Liverpool.
One thing to watch:Mohamed Salah to score on his return, whether that is from the start or off the bench.
