CONFIRMED Liverpool lineup vs Brentford as Arne Slot springs striker surprise

Liverpool are in Premier League action this afternoon as they face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium at 3pm.

The Reds are without a top-flight win so far in 2025, drawing with both Manchester United and Nottingham Forest.

It's been a tough run of results for Arne Slot's men, who remain top of the Premier League but could really do with getting three points on the board.

That's no easy task against a Brentford side who have only lost twice at home all season and are the division's top scorers on their own turf.

But no team has scored more away from home than Liverpool with Mohamed Salah leading the way in the goalscoring charts.

Happily, injury trouble elsewhere in the squad is beginning to subside with only Joe Gomez marked down as another injury absence.

Here's how Liverpool will line up for the game in West London this afternoon.

In goal, Alisson Becker. At right-back is Trent Alexander-Arnold. In central defence it will be Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk. At left-back there is a change with Kostas Tsimikas starting in place of Andy Robertson.

The Reds are at full strength in midfield with Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Up front it's Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo as well as Luis Diaz.

Despite a reported illness, the Colombian is preferred to Darwin Nunez at No9.

4-3-3: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
