Diogo Jota is once again doubtful for Liverpool’s trip to Brentford, with the striker suffering a fitness complaint after his goal against Nottingham Forest. Jota’s season – and, in truth, the majority of his time at Liverpool – has been stop-start so far,

Premier League leaders Liverpool face a difficult away trip against Brentford as they look to return to winning ways. The Reds have suffered a minor dip in form after drawing their last two Premier league games against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest as well as losing to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota missed training and is a doubt for Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford, head coach Arne Slot said on the eve of the match.

Liverpool’s upcoming fixture against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium is a crucial clash for the Reds’ title hopes. The spotlight intensifies on Liverpool’s new tactical shifts under Arne Slot’s management as they face a crucial test against the Bees.

Brentford have won seven home matches in this season's Premier League, the joint-most along with Liverpool and Arsenal. All but five of their 28 points – the equivalent of 82 per cent – have been earned at home. However, they are the only Premier League club yet to keep a home clean sheet this season.

Liverpool delivered one of the most dramatic moments of the Arne Slot era with a late, late win at Brentford. The source was unlikely, Darwin Nunez — a much-maligned striker in recent weeks — delivering two injury-time goals to seal victory and tighten his side’s grip at the top of the Premier League.

Arne Slot admitted he feared history was repeating itself as Liverpool laboured against Brentford on Saturday, before substitute Darwin Nunez scored twice in stoppage time to extend the Reds' Premier League lead.

Darwin Núñez has had his doubters this season, and poor form has led to rumours of a January transfer. He answered his critics with a late, match-winning double at Brentford.
