MacAllister vs Maupay.

This Saturday will begin the 25th round of the Premier League and the leaders Liverpool will be in charge of playing the first match. Brentford will be their rivals at the Gtech Community Stadium and Michael Oliver will be the referee. For the Reds it will be an ideal opportunity to get a victory and transfer the pressure to Manchester City and Arsenal, who will play later and in that case will be obliged to win in order not to be too far away from the top.

However, it will not be an easy game for Jurgen Klopp's team. The Bees have proven to be competitive opponents, and in their own stadium and with the support of their fans they will do their best to get at least a draw. For them it is key to achieve it, as they are not in a very good position in the standings: with 25 points they are in 14th place, just 6 points away from the relegation zone.

Klopp will be able to count this Saturday with his main star, Mohamed Salah, who has recovered from the injury he suffered while playing the Africa Cup of Nations with the Egyptian national team and will be on the bench. In addition, rumors circulated again this week about his possible departure to Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia after the end of the season. That is why it is important for the team to show good performances without him, in order to be prepared in case the rumors turn out to be true.

Liverpool's starting lineup will be: Caoimhin Kelleher; Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Alexis MacAllister, Wataru Endo, Curtis Jones; Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz. In addition, substitutes will be Adrian, Joseph Gomez, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Jarell Quansah, Ryan Gravenberch, Harvey Elliott, James McConnell, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo.
