Liverpool vs Brentford team news
Liverpool have a clean bill of health for their second game of the season, but that does not mean Arne Slot won't make changes.
Young defender Jarell Quansah was withdrawn at half-time of the win over Ipswich, and the manager confirmed after the game that the decision was tactical as Ibrahima Konate came on and impressed as the Reds won the game. It remains to be seen if Quansah will retain his starting berth.
For Brentford, Ivan Toney is again expected to play no part amid ongoing certainty over his future. Otherwise, it's a case of as you were with Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry not back until next month and both Joshua Dasilva and Igor Thiago longer-term absentees.

Liverpool vs Brentford prediction
Liverpool were slow to get into their stride against Ipswich, but once they started to click they were out of sight. Brentford were also slow starters against Crystal Palace and found it harder to move up the gears.
The Reds in their first home game of the season should see this one out fairly comfortably.
