Liverpool predicted lineup vs Brentford - Premier League

Liverpool host Brentford in the Premier League as the Reds look to strengthen their Premier League title bid.

Jurgen Klopp's side currently trail leaders Man City by 11 points with a game in hand heading into this weekend after a brief wobble.

The Reds have won just once in normal time since December 16 - a 4-1 win over Shrewsbury in the FA Cup third round - and were held at home for the first time this season in a goalless draw with ten-man Arsenal in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

Here's how Klopp's side could shape up this weekend.

Fabinho (CM) - The Brazilian offers the perfect balance for attack and defence in midfield.

Curtis Jones (CM) - His slaloming runs from midfield can cause issues for opponents, but he needs to add an end product.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (CM) - His physicality in midfield will be key against a tenacious Brentford side.

3. Forwards
