Liverpool predicted line-up vs Brentford - Jurgen Klopp makes changes after late blow

Liverpool can put the pressure on their Premier League title rivals when they make the trip to Brentford on Saturday (12.30 GMT).

The Reds playing at lunchtime means that they have an opportunity to move five points clear ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal's respective games against Chelsea and Burnley.

Jurgen Klopp's side bounced back to winning ways when they earned a 3-1 win over Burnley. Liverpool have also enjoyed the rarity of a full week to prepare for their clash against Brentford, who beat Wolves 2-0 last time out.

The Reds weren't quite at their best against Burnley but dug in with a depleted squad. And it seems that Klopp will have injury issue once against when heading to the Gtec Community Stadium. Trent Alexander-Arnold is set for another period on the sidelines because of a recurrence of a knee injury while Dominik Szoboszlai is struggling with a hamstring problem and was not spotted in training earlier this week. What's more, Alisson Becker has been ruled out after pulling his hamstring in training.

However, Mo Salah is back involved in sessions and Klopp may have a decision whether to start Liverpool's talisman. What's more, Alisson Becker and Joe Gomez are expected to be back after illness and Conor Bradley has returned to Merseyside after being given compassionate leave following the passing of his father.

Klopp will have several decisions to make when it comes to his line-up. With everything in mind, here's the Liverpool team predicted to face Brentford.

1. GK - Caoimhin Kelleher

The Republic of Ireland international would have played regardless of Alisson's injury - and will be relishing another Wembley outing after being the hero two years ago.

2. RB - Conor Bradley
