Liverpool team news: Predicted XI vs Brentford as six miss out in Jurgen Klopp’s squad | Football | Sport

That only leaves Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Harvey Elliott as the senior options to start in midfield against Brentford. Cody Gakpo was tried in the attacking midfield role during pre-season, but Klopp will want the Dutchman as an option further forward.

Attack: Salah, Nunez, Jota

It’s turned into somewhat of a lottery for who Klopp goes with in the two attacking positions alongside Mohamed Salah. Klopp is spoilt for choice with Darwin Nunez, Gakpo, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota all capable of starting and being game-winners on any given day.

Gakpo and Diaz started in the week against Toulouse, meaning the other three are likely fresh to start against Brentford. But Klopp could easily shake things up as Liverpool’s frontline struggled to impress against Luton last week.
