Liverpool manager Arne Slot is expected to make at least one change for the visit of Brentford.

Young defender Jarell Quansah started the win over Ipswich last weekend and did not appear to do much wrong, but was withdrawn at half-time by his new boss and replaced with Ibrahima Konate.

Slot explained after the game that the decision was tactical, having seen Konate impress as Liverpool went on to win the game. The manager then revealed on Friday that Quansah picked up a “bit of an injury” during the week, further throwing his involvement into doubt, and hopes to train with the squad later in the day.

The Reds boss said: “On Tuesday he picked up a bit of a injury so let's see if he can train today.”

Further forward, it should be a case of as you were with the front six. Cody Gakpo will be pushing Luis Diaz for a start after a late cameo against the Tractor Boys, while Darwin Nunez failed to get off the bench but should get his first minutes of the season on Sunday.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Salah, Jota, Diaz
