Brentford and Liverpool are back in Premier League action once again tonight as they meet in West London.

The Bees beat West Ham United 2-0 on Friday night but are without Ivan Toney this evening after he picked up an injury.

David Raya starts in goal for Brentford behind a back three of Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen, Ben Mee and Ethan Pinnock.

Mads Roerslev and Rico Henry are the Brentford wing backs today with Christian Norgaard, Vitaly Janet and Mattias Jensen in midfield.

Yoane Wissa comes in for Toney, joining Bryan Mbeumo up top.

Keane Lewis-Potter and Mikkel Damsgaard are both on the bench, joining Thomas Strakosha, Sergi Canos, Josh Dasilva, Saman Ghoddos, Mads Bech Sorensen, Tristan Crama and Ryan Trevitt.

Liverpool go with Alisson between the sticks but there are changes in the back four as Ibrahima Konate replaces Joel Matip and Kostas Tsimikas is in at left back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk keep their places though, joining Konate and Tsimikas at the back.

Fabinho will protect the back four tonight with Thiago Alcantara and Harvey Elliott joining him in midfield.

Darwin Nunez leads the line once again with Mohamed Salah and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain featuring on the flanks.

There is no Cody Gakpo in the squad tonight with Jurgen Klopp deciding to leave the new signing out for now.

Klopp highlighted on Sunday night that work permit issues were preventing him from even training, never mind playing.

Caoimhin Kelleher, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones, Andrew Robertson, Fabio Carvalho, Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic and Nat Phillips are on the bench for Liverpool tonight.
