Liverpool
Despite siding with Jarell Quansah over Ibrahima Konate at Portman Road, Slot ruthlessly brought the Englishman off at half time, claiming later that the youngster lost a couple of important duels rather than being taken off for fitness reasons.
However, Quansah has ironically now picked up a training injury and is a doubt for the weekend, so Konate will almost certainly partner Virgil van Dijk here, but Slot otherwise has a clean bill of health for the weekend.
Still yet to make a single new acquisition in the transfer window, Liverpool will likely field a near-identical starting XI for their first home match of the season, as Ryan Gravenberch gets the nod in a deeper midfield role once more.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota
Brentford
One week on from Brentford's beating of Palace, and star striker Toney appears to be no closer to a possible transfer to the Saudi Pro League or any other club, and his participation this weekend remains clouded in uncertainty.
However, four men who definitely will not be involved are the injured quartet of Rico Henry (knee), Igor Thiago (knee), Josh Dasilva (knee) and Aaron Hickey (thigh), although Frank is optimistic that the former will make his long-awaited comeback after the September international break.
With Toney likely to remain out in the cold, Wissa should spearhead the charge once again as he seeks a slice of Premier League history; the DR Congo international could become the first player to ever score and assist in four successive games in the competition.
The Bees have also captured Sepp van den Berg from their upcoming hosts, but it will surely be too soon for the Dutchman to start.
Brentford possible starting lineup:
Flekken; Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer; Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen; Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Brentford
