Liverpool will look to get back on track in their Premier League title defence when they face Brentford on Saturday.
Arne Slot's side suffered a third consecutive top-flight loss when they went down to bitter rivals Manchester United at Anfield last week.
The Reds returned to winning ways at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League in midweek and will now attempt to make inroads into Arsenal's four-point advantage at the top of the table.
Brentford are 15th, five points above the relegation zone, having beaten struggling West Ham last time out.

Brentford vs. Liverpool live updates, highlights, and commentary
1 hr 30 mins before kickoff: Victory over a porous Eintracht Frankfurt snapped Liverpool's four-game losing slump across all competitions. They must now build on that against Brentford, who will no doubt have noticed Arne Slot's candid post-match comments in Germany that Liverpool's task was made more straightforward by having opponents to press who did not go long at will. Virgil van Dijk and whoever else starting in the Liverpool backline today might want to prepare themselves for a bombardment.

Brentford subs: Matchday squads released one hour and 15 minutes before kickoff
Both Jeremie Frimpong and Alexander Isak have had tough starts to their time at Anfield and they are both expected to be sidelined for a while after injuries against Frankfurt.
Fellow summer signings Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike have been left out by Slot of late but it would be no surprise to see both come back into the side.
There is a debate around Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian was again left out in midweek following a poor start to the season. It would still be a surprise to see him dropped in the Premier League.
