Brentford preview: Hit and miss of late
Brentford entertained Manchester City in midweek and looked like they were going to lose the game after Phil Foden scored twice in the second half to put the visitors 2-0 up with 12 minutes left on the clock.
However, Yoane Wissa pulled a goal back in the 82nd minute and in stoppage time, Christian Norgaard equalised for the Bees and silenced the away fans.
Thomas Frank could be without seven players this weekend as Joshua Dasilva, Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer, Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago, Gustavo Gomes and Ryan Trevitt are all sidelined with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Flekken (GK), Roerslev, Collins, van den Berg, Norgaard, Wissa, Jensen, Janelt, Mbeumo, Damsgaard & Lewis-Potter

Liverpool preview: Lost one of last six
Liverpool made the tricky trip to in-form Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night and fell behind early on to a goal from Chris Wood.
However, Liverpool dominated the game and in the 66th minute, substitute Diogo Jota fired home an equaliser a matter of seconds after replacing Ibrahima Konate, earning Liverpool a share of the spoils.
Joe Gomez is the only injury concern for the visitors this weekend, but Darwin Nunez returns to the side following a brief suspension.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), van Dijk, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Gakpo & Díaz

Player to watch – Diogo Jota
Diogo Jota has proven an excellent signing for Liverpool ever since he made the move from Wolves back in 2020.
Despite never really nailing down a regular spot in the starting lineup, Jota has proven to be an excellent squad player who almost always delivers when called upon, just as we witnessed against Nottingham Forest in midweek.
A fantastic finisher who is in great form
Injuries have been the Portuguese forward's downfall this season but now that he is back, we expect Jota to chip in with plenty of goals and a few assists starting against Brentford on Saturday.
