Liverpool face a second team from west London in four days as Brentford visit Anfield this weekend.

Jurgen Klopp's men are on the hunt for a sixth straight victory, finding form heading into the final part of this season.

They are unlikely to qualify for next season's Champions League with a sizeable points gap to the top four still present, but could cement their spot in fifth place with a few more wins and the sides below them playing each other over the coming weeks.

Here's how the Reds could set out against the Bees on Saturday.


GK: Alisson - Two of the Premier League's best goalkeepers this season will meet at Anfield, with Alisson taking on David Raya.

RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold - Enjoying life in his new inverted role.

CB: Ibrahima Konate - Shredded by Spurs last Sunday and life won't get much easier with having to mark Ivan Toney.

CB: Virgil van Dijk - The chaotic nature of that Tottenham victory may have spared the Dutchman from becoming a meme.

LB: Andy Robertson - Likely to come back in for Kostas Tsimikas, who was dreadful in the reverse fixture.

DM: Fabinho - Pretty much the only candidate for this role given Stefan Bajcetic's season-ending injury.

CM: Jordan Henderson - The butt of plenty of Jude Bellingham jokes this week after failing in his attempts to recruit him.

CM: Curtis Jones - Turns out there's a talented midfielder in Jones after all. Just needed some consistent game time.

RW: Mohamed Salah - One of only three players to have scored more Premier League goals than Salah this season will be on the opposing side in Ivan Toney.

CF: Cody Gakpo - Darwin Nunez didn't really impress against Fulham so expect Gakpo to come straight back in.

LW: Luis Diaz - What a joy it is to see the Colombian fit and healthy again. This will be his first game against Brentford.
