Rio Ngumoha’s Liverpool future may suddenly be in doubt if he does not start against Brentford

Liverpool’s clash with Brentford on Saturday is a big game for many reasons, as the Reds look to avoid consecutive Premier League defeats. The Bees are in really good form under Keith Andrews and have not lost a home match since February.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are yet to really get going this season, with Andoni Iraola still trying to figure out his best XI. The make-up of his attack has been the most difficult thing for Iraola to grapple with, and he has tinkered with playing different players in different positions already.

One of those yet to have his role fully defined is Rio Ngumoha , who continues to hold off on signing a new contract at Anfield.
