Liverpool were without Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez ahead of their win over Brentford due to two new injury problems.

Gravenburch was flagged for offside but the rest of the world did Van Dijk a favor with another impressive display from the back in a 3-0 win over Brentford.

Alexis McAllister is suspended for one match, Curtis Jones, Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are out through injury and Manchester United manager Jurgen Klopp is running out of options in midfield.

Al-Ettifaq’s low presence in the Gulf states once again caused a stir at home, with only 610 people attending Al-Fayha’s trip. That was their lowest attendance of the season so far and better than the 696 they drew in last month’s loss to Aaliyah.
