Liverpool host Brentford at Anfield in a must-win game to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Liverpool are currently two games ahead of Manchester United but four points behind. They must win all their remaining games and wait for their arch-rivals to stumble.
Liverpool have just barely beaten Fulham 1-0 with Salah scoring a penalty. This is the fifth consecutive victory for The Kop, lighting up the hope of being in the top 4 at the end of the season. The chances are not many, but coach Jurgen Klopp is showing good spirit. After a period of poor performance, they promise to end the season with improved form.
Salah is the "leader" reviving Liverpool after a period of disappointment.
Brentford are not an easy opponent. The Bees still have a chance to qualify for the European Cup next season, Ivan Toney and his teammates will certainly not give up despite their difficult schedule at the end of the season. After Liverpool, Brentford will face Tottenham and Man City.
Brentford’s away form has been poor recently, winning just two of their last eight away games. However, they are still a very unpredictable opponent for the “big guys”. Coach Thomas Frank and his players have beaten Man City and Liverpool this season.
In terms of squad, Liverpool continue to be without Bajcetic, Firmino, Keita, Ramsay, and Thiago due to injury. Compared to the remaining names, Thiago's loss is the most significant. However, coach Jurgen Klopp can still rest assured with Curtis Jones. As for Brentford, they do not have the services of Jansson, Lewis-Potter, Norgaard, and Strakosa (injured).
Expected lineup Liverpool vs Brentford
Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Fabinho, Henderson; Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo
Brentford (4-4-): Raya; Henry, Mee, Pinnock, Hickey; Jensen, Norgaard, Dasilva, Mbeumo; Wissa, Ivan Toney.
