Mohamed Salah was named on the bench as Liverpool got back to winning ways in Frankfurt; Arne Slot's bold selections paid off but what team does the Dutchman pick to face Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday? Have your say now. .. Thursday 23 October 2025 13: 44, UK Arne Slot's bold selections paid off for Liverpool against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, but what team should the Dutchman pick against Brentford on Saturday? Slot opted for something different in Germany in an attempt to change Liverpool's fortunes. Using a 4-2-2-2 formation, he paired Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike together for the first time, while Florian Wirtz also started as the Dutchman put his faith in £300m-worth of new talent to stop the rot. It meant talisman Mohamed Salah was named on the bench and the brave decisions paid dividends. The Reds scored five goals through five different goalscorers for a confidence-boosting 5-1 victory, with the only blot on a near-perfect night being the injury picked up by Isak, who was forced off at half-time. So, what does Slot do now? Does he stick with the formation that helped Liverpool to victory in Frankfurt? Does Salah return? Does he replace the injured Isak? Is Ekitike now Liverpool's starting No 9?
