Slot makes a significant midfield decision regarding Salah’s recall: Liverpool’s potential XI against Brentford

Liverpool broke a four-match losing streak across all competitions with a 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday and will aim for another favorable outcome in the Premier League this weekend.

Arne Slot’s squad faces Brentford on matchday nine of the English top-flight at 20:00 local time tonight, seeking three vital points to maintain pressure on Arsenal and Manchester City in the title race.

Here’s a look at Liverpool’s possible starting eleven for the encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Goalkeeper – With Alisson Becker still not fully fit, Giorgi Mamardashvili is anticipated to be the preferred choice in goal.

Defenders – Jeremie Frimpong picked up an injury in the Champions League, so Dominik Szoboszlai may once again step in at right back, while Andy Robertson could be replaced by Milos Kerkez on the left side of the defense.

Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are expected to start together for the ninth time in the Premier League this season.

Changes in midfield and on the wings

Midfielders – Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch did not feature in the Champions League match on Wednesday, but they might return to the lineup in the double pivot against Brentford, with Florian Wirtz potentially starting at number 10 after providing two assists against Eintracht Frankfurt.

With Alexander Isak likely to miss out due to a minor injury, Mohamed Salah could be brought in on the right wing, while Cody Gakpo, who has scored in his last three matches, may again appear on the left flank.

Forward – After netting against his former club in the Champions League, Hugo Ekitike might rejoin the team as the spearhead of their attack against Brentford.
