Cody Gakpo is not involved in Liverpool's Premier League clash with Brentford, where Jurgen Klopp makes three changes.

Cody Gakpo is not involved in Liverpool's Premier League clash with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, where Jurgen Klopp makes three changes.

The Dutch attacker officially completed his £37m move from PSV Eindhoven on Sunday but was not expected to make his debut tonight while Liverpool complete the paperwork.

As a result, Gakpo is set to make his first appearance for the club against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup at the weekend, leaving Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to once again start up top alongside Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez.

Roberto Firmino has not been passed fit for the match, but Harvey Elliott has shaken off a knock to join Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho, who returns after the birth of his child. Jordan Henderson, meanwhile, is nowhere to be seen due to a reported concussion.

Klopp also makes two changes at the back, as Ibrahima Konate replaces Joel Matip and Andy Robertson - who came off injured against Leicester City but still makes the bench - cedes his spot to Kostas Tsimikas.

Meanwhile, Brentford striker Ivan Toney is out after coming off on a stretcher in the Bees' win over West Ham United, as Yoane Wissa comes in to partner Bryan Mbeumo up front, while Vitaly Janelt returns in midfield for Josh Dasilva.

Liverpool starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Elliott, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Nunez, Oxlade-Chamberlain

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Keita, Jones, Robertson, Carvalho, Matip, Bajcetic, Phillips

Brentford starting lineup: Raya; Zanka, Mee, Pinnock; Roerslev, Janelt, Jensen, Norgaard, Henry; Mbeumo, Wissa

Subs: Strakosha, Bech Sorensen, Canos, Ghoddos, Lewis-Potter, Dasilva, Damsgaard, Crama, Trevitt
