Both managers made just one change from battling midweek draws with Manchester City and Nottingham Forest respectively, Brentford boss Thomas Frank replacing Mathias Jensen with Yehor Yarmoliuk in midfield and Liverpool counterpart Arne Slot opting for Kostas Tsimikas over Andy Robertson at left-back, with Luis Diaz passed fit after illness and Nunez back on the bench after suspension as Diogo Jota joined Joe Gomez on the sidelines.
