Liverpool - Brentford

Liverpool are in poor form, one win on the last four matches across all competitions - against third-tier side of Shrewsbury in the FA Cup. To be worse, they are handicapped with the absence of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. They will miss the next period due to international duty. Naby Keita is also on AFCON, while Thiago Alcantara and Divock Origi remain out injured. Brentford have one win and one defeat in the last two rounds. The Bees managed to beat Aston Villa with 2:1, but lost the match with Southampton. Manager Frank also have some unavailable players - Onyeka is on Africa Cup of Nations, while Josh Dasilva, David Raya, Charlie Goode and Mathias Jorgensen are out injured. Liverpool are huge favorites in this match, but they are not the same team without Salah and Mane. The Reds failed to score against 10-men Arsenal and it won t be much different here. Brentford could remain unbeaten here.
