With Ryan Gravenberch a strong doubt (knee injury) and Alexis Mac Allister (suspension) confirmed out, the Liverpool midfield could look very different on Sunday. It will be interesting to see what Reds manager Jurgen Klopp does when he fills out the middle of the park section of his team sheet.

The Reds also have four confirmed (and you can call them “long-term”) injury absentees: Curtis Jones (hamstring), Andrew Robertson (shoulder), Stefan Bajcetic (calf) and Thiago Alcantara (groin). Shifting over to Brentford, Keane Lewis-Potter (calf) and Shandon Baptiste (shoulder) could both pass late fitness tests to make into the squad.
Meanwhile Ivan Toney remains suspended while the following five players Rico Henry (torn ACL), Kevin Schade (adductor), Aaron Hickey (suspension), Mikkel Damsgaard (knee) and Josh Dasilva (hamstring) are all confirmed out.
With the case of Henry, he’s done for the rest of the season.
