Brentford will travel to Liverpool this weekend, hoping for a much better performance than their disappointing 4-1 loss to Southampton. 

Liverpool will be missing key attackers Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, who are both at the Africa Cup of Nations, but they will still be looking to condemn Brentford to a similar score line in order to keep pace with Manchester City. 

Jurgen Klopp will return to the sidelines after missing Liverpool's last league game due to a Covid infection. 

The German will be hoping to inspire his team back into form, as they have only won one of their last four games.


Here's everything you need to know before the game. 

When is the game? 

The game begins at 2:00 p.m. GMT on Sunday, January 16 at Anfield. 

Where can I see it? 

Unfortunately, the match will not be broadcast live in the United Kingdom, but highlights will be available shortly after full-time and later on Match of the Day on BBC 1. 

What is the latest team news? 

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Naby Keita are all currently representing their countries at the Africa Cup of Nations and will be unavailable for the match. Thiago is also out with a hip injury and will be a significant loss for the team. Liverpool, on the other hand, will be hoping to welcome back all of their "false positives" from last week. 

Midfielder Frank Onyeka is on international duty at Afcon but fortunately, Brentford’s injury woes have lessened in recent weeks.


They will be hoping to welcome back energetic wingback Rico Henry and will be crossing their fingers that Sergi Canos is fit. The Bees are still without first-choice goalkeeper David Raya and talented midfielder Josh DaSilva, with the latter on the verge of returning to the starting lineup.


Predicted line-ups


Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Jones; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Firmino, Jota


Brentford XI: Fernandez; Ajer, Jansson, Pinnock; Roerslev, Janelt, Norgaard, Baptiste, Canos; Mbuemo, Toney


Odds

Liverpool 10/29

Draw 19/4

Brentford 10/1



Prediction


Brentford will be going to Anfield full of belief, knowing the home side are without some of their key players. However, Liverpool’s know-how should prove enough to edge a closely fought encounter. Liverpool 2-1 Brentford
