Mohamed Salah returns as Jurgen Klopp considers five changes to Liverpool side
Liverpool were left without 11 players when they beat Burnley 3-1 on Saturday to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Alisson Becker and Joe Gomez missed the victory following a flu outbreak in the Reds squad during the week, while Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch was left as an unused substitute after feeling something in the warm-up.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold forced off at half-time with a recurrence of his knee injury suffered last month, Liverpool could be down to the bare bones when they return to action away at Brentford next weekend.

Having made five changes against Burnley, he could make just as many in the capital.

With Alexander-Arnold an injury doubt because of that knee injury, Bradley could reclaim his starting place if he is ready to return from compassionate leave. If the Northern Irishman needs more time, then Joe Gomez is the alternative should he overcome illness.
If fit, Gomez is also a contender to start at left-back, having shone in the role in the absence of Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas. However, the Scot was impressive when making his first start in four months after a dislocated shoulder against Burnley, while the Greek made his return from a broken collarbone off the bench.
