Liverpool have the chance to increase their lead at the top of the table before their title rivals play, but they face a capable Brentford away from home.

Diogo Jota has emerged as an injury doubt for Liverpool ’s trip to Brentford with the Portuguese forward suffering a new fitness blow.

Diogo Jota pressed his claims for a place in the XI with his immediate impact on Tuesday, but in his pre-match press conference, Slot confirmed the Portuguese forward picked up a niggle during his cameo and was struggling to be fit. Given his recent injury record, risking him from the start would be a potentially flawed move.
