Liverpool may have rediscovered their scoring touch, but their biggest concern ahead of Saturday's trip to Brentford is who will be fit enough to start.Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai are all in contention after missing the 6-3 Champions League victory over LASK. ##LINKED_NEWS_69896##With Liverpool facing Villarreal just three days later, Iraola must also balance the need for points with the demands of a packed schedule."Obviously, they were not ready for LASK. We have to see and wait. If they were not able to recover for that game, I would give them a chance now. Everything is open," the Liverpool manager said.17.00: (2.45) Brentford (3.45) Liverpool (2.80)The quick turnaround leaves little room for recovery, making squad rotation essential."Especially in this period, when we are practically playing every three days, sometimes with even less time between matches, you need more players. That is why we changed the team in Linz," Iraola explained."We will have to make changes again now, and then again when we play Villarreal in another three days. We need everyone, and everyone has to be ready because they will probably get an opportunity."##EDITORS_CHOICE##Young centre-back Jeremy Jacquet expects a physical examination against the Bees, who have built a reputation for making life uncomfortable for their opponents."The manager has told us that it will be a battle all over the pitch. We have worked hard in training despite having little time. We will be ready," Jacquet said."We have already shown that we can react after defeats. It is very important to get back to winning ways, this time in the Premier League."##LINKED_NEWS_69958##Keith Andrews' side have gone ten matches unbeaten across league and cup competitions, stretching back into last season, and will be eager to extend that run against one of English football's biggest clubs.Their home form has been particularly encouraging. Brentford have collected seven points from a possible nine at the Gtech Community Stadium this season, beating Tottenham and Chelsea by 3-0 margins and drawing 1-1 with Sunderland.##LINKED_NEWS_69947##The Brentford boss believes his side can go toe-to-toe with the Reds, provided they deliver the right performance."It is not an exaggeration to say that we can compete with Liverpool and beat them. We will have to do a lot of things well and stop them, but we have already shown that we can compete with the best teams in the league," Andrews added.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 7Saturday14.30: (3.20) Everton (3.50) Chelsea (2.20)17.00: (2.45) Brentford (3.45) Liverpool (2.80)17.00: (1.75) Fulham (3.60) Hull (4.90)17.00: (1.23) Man.City (6.75) Ipswich (11.0)19.30: (2.35) Newcastle (3.50) Aston Villa (2.90)Sunday16.00: (2.10) Bournemouth (3.45) Sunderland (3.50)16.00: (1.55) Brighton (4.50) Crystal Palace (5.40)16.00: (2.40) Leeds (3.45) Man.Utd.
