Brentford could be without five players vs Liverpool as Bryan Mbeumo and others injured
Liverpool and Brentford will be without several key players for today's Premier League fixture.
The Reds go to the Gtech Community Stadium to face the Bees looking to retain their spot at the top of the league standings. Liverpool are currently two points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal, although City do have a game in hand over the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp's side claimed a 3-1 win over Burnley in their last fixture and will be determined to get three points on the road against Brentford this weekend. Just like Liverpool, Brentford will also be forced to deal with a lengthy injury list.
Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dominik Szoboszlai, Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic and Ben Doak are all unavailable for the Reds. Brentford boss Thomas Frank will also have some members of his squad unavailable for the visit of Liverpool today.
