Liverpool Aims for Champions League Spot in Emotional Farewell Against Brentford
Liverpool prepares for an emotional farewell as they host Brentford on the final day of the Premier League season. Scheduled for 4 PM BST on Sunday, May 24, the match at Anfield marks a pivotal moment for players Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, who may be playing their last games for the club. Despite a disappointing title defense, Liverpool can secure a Champions League spot with at least a draw. However, a loss could see them slip to fifth place if Bournemouth manages to win and overcome a six-goal difference. Arne Slot, under pressure from fans, faces a crucial decision about starting Salah, who has expressed frustration through social media after last week’s defeat to Aston Villa. The atmosphere is tense, and Slot needs to rally support from the Anfield crowd. Match Details: Kick-off: 4 PM BST, May 24 Broadcast: Live on Sky Sports+, with streaming on Sky Go and NOW. Injury Updates: Liverpool: Alisson trained and may return; doubts over Salah and Robertson starting. Brentford: No new injury concerns; Rico Henry remains sidelined, while Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo continue their recovery from ACL injuries. Predicted Line-ups: Liverpool XI: Alisson; Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Gakpo.
