Big game coming up against Brentford, who are in indifferent form, winning 2 of their last 6. They currently sit 14th in the table, 6 points above the drop zone.
We have a home game against Luton 4 days after this then the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea 4 days after that, so rotation will be needed given the injuries we currently have.
Alisson and Gomez should return from illness. Bradley will return from compassionate leave and Salah is returning to first team training on Monday. TAA will probably miss this one given he’s injured his knee again. Elliott deserves a start after his display at the weekend but he’s so effective from the bench, it’s a difficult one. Brentford are a big strong team.
With the above considered I’d go with this line up, potential subs in brackets.
Alisson
Gomez (Bradley)
Konate
Van Dijk (c)
Robertson
Mac Allister (Elliott)
Endo
Jones (Gravenberch)
Jota (Salah)
Nunez (Gakpo)
Diaz
Subs:
Kelleher (GK)
Bradley
Quansah
Tsimikas
Elliott
Gravenberch
Clark
Salah
Gakpo
Injured:
Alexander-Arnold
Matip
Szoboszlai
Thiago
Bajcetic
Doak
Going for a 1-3 win for the Reds
