Manchester City is flying away with the English Premier League 2021-22 title and their latest win over Chelsea all but ended the latter’s title hopes. Liverpool, with two games in hand over Manchester City, will still believe they are in it despite a 14 point deficit from the summit. The Reds are in action against Brentford at home with massive three-points on the line. No game comes easy in England’s top tier and Brentford has shown they can put up a show against the top teams despite being a newly promoted team. The Reds were held to a goalless draw against a ten-man Arsenal in the Carabao Cup in their previous match. The hosts need to improve their attack with some top players missing due to the AFCON. Liverpool versus Brentford will be telecasted on the Star Sports network and streamed Hotstar from 7:30 PM IST.

Thiago Alcantara, Divock Origi and Nathaniel Phillips are ruled out of the tie for Liverpool with injuries but there is some positive update on the status of Virgil Van Dijk and James Milner as they have put the knocks suffered against Arsenal past them to feature. Roberto Firmino will have Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones on either side of the flank. Fabinho is the one that holds the fort in midfield and Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should push up to join the attack.
Frank Onyeka is away on AFCON duties for Brentford while Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jorgensen, Charlie Goode and David Raya Martin are out injured. Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney are lively in the attacking third and the Reds cannot afford to give them space. The away team will field a five-man midfield to provide a cushion to the defence. Christian Norgaard is the one that dictates the tempo of the game for Brentford but he needs his fellow teammates to be judicious in possession. Liverpool, despite the long absentee list, has enough quality to get the job done against Brentford.
