- 5' Jordan Henderson is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for Liverpool FC tonight.
- 10' It looks surprising Brentford FC does not make any changes. Ivan Toney has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Shandon Baptiste suffering a number of foals already.
