Liverpool vs. Brentford: Confirmed Lineups and Expected Starting 11 with Team News - Carvalho and Van den Berg set for swift Anfield return

Liverpool kicked off the Arne Slot era with a hard-fought 2-0 win against Ipswich, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting season ahead. Up next, they face Brentford at Anfield in a highly anticipated clash.

Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah were on target at Portman Road, while Thomas Frank's team were also victorious on the opening weekend.

Brentford claimed a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace despite star striker Ivan Toney being left out in the cold following transfer rumours away from the London club.

Sunday will also bring a swift reunion for two players who left Anfield this month.

Jarell Quansah is doubtful after picking up an injury during midweek training, however, the young centre-back was arguably unlikely to start after being hooked at halftime against Ipswich.

Ibrahima Konate coming in to partner Virgil van Dijk in the heart of defence could be Slot's only change.

Liverpool predicted XI (4-3-3 right to left): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson — Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai — Salah, Jota, Diaz.

Injured: Quansah (doubt)
Suspended: 

Fabio Carvalho made his Brentford debut as a late substitute last weekend and he and Sepp van den Berg might have to make do with such a role again, with Thomas Frank probably reluctant to change a team that did such a fine job against Palace.

Ivan Toney missed the Palace game amid rumours of a move to the Saudi Pro League. Although that is yet to materialise, the England striker is set to miss out once more as his future is finalised.

Brentford predicted (4-3-3, right to left): Flekken (GK) — Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer — Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen —  Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade.

Injured: Hickey, Henry, Dasilva, Thiago
Suspended:
