Arne Slot believes Caoimhin Kelleher has “shown that he’s right” to have pushed for a move from Liverpool this summer, ahead of his reunion with Brentford‘s No. He will make his ninth start when he faces Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday night, with Slot explaining why he encouraged Kelleher’s desire to leave.

“For Caoimhin, like I said a goalkeeper is a bit different, but he was here for so many years that he felt it was time for him to start playing. “And he’s shown that he’s right, because he does really well.” Brentford have 4 ex-Liverpool players in their squad Brentford should have three former Liverpool players in their starting lineup at the weekend, with Kelleher likely to be joined by Jordan Henderson and Sepp van den Berg.

“Although I haven’t worked with him, we’re also going to face Jordan Henderson, who I’ve been told is the only Liverpool captain to lift six [different] trophies,” he continued. “So that tells you how important he was for Ajax and how important he’s been for Liverpool, and how important he now is for Brentford.” Henderson has started each of the last seven Premier League games for Brentford, having immediately cemented himself as a key player for Keith Andrews.
