Liverpool name 16-year-old on bench for Brentford after being hit by two new absences
Jurgen Klopp makes seven changes in total as Liverpool host Brentford at Anfield.
After losing 3-2 to Toulouse in the Europa League on Thursday evening, Alisson Becker returns in goal in front of a back five that sees Kostas Tsimikas keep his place from that defeat in France. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk are all recalled.
There is no place for either Joe Gomez or Ibrahima Konate on the substitutes' bench this afternoon, as they are ruled out by minor injuries, with Reds boss Klopp forced to name an inexperienced set of subs that includes 16-year-old Trey Nyoni.

In midfield, Japan captain Wataru Endo keeps his place alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, with Cody Gakpo also dropping into the middle due to the suspension to Alexis Mac Allister.
Mac Allister picked up his fifth caution of the campaign in last week's 1-1 draw at Luton Town and sits out today's game as a result. Klopp's midfield options are threadbare for this one given the injuries to Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch, Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic.
As a result, Netherlands international Gakpo, who has occasionally been deployed as an attacking midfielder during his time with the Reds, is once more in the engine room for the visit of Thomas Frank's Bees. Harvey Elliott is left in reserve on the bench.
Mohamed Salah returns on the right of the front three as Darwin Nunez starts down the middle. Diogo Jota, who scored as a substitute in Thursday's defeat, is recalled in place of Luis Diaz on the left.
