Liverpool vs Brentford

Red-hot Brentford aim to continue their superb recent form as they host a resurgent Liverpool in west London in a beauty of a game on Monday.

A lovely evening for a game here and it feels like when the big boys roll into town, Brentford never disappoint. Home fans are in very good spirits and there’s plenty of noise from the away end too. Virgin van Dijk gets on the end of a cross and volleys it towards goal but somehow David Raya saves and it hits the bar. A corner is whipped in and the ball comes off Konate’s left knee cap and flies into the bottom corner. The offside flag is up and VAR confirms it is no goal. However, moments later a fine cross from Jensen from the right finds Wissa and his header creeps over the line and the goal is given. What a start to the second half for the Reds. Liverpool going for it and getting the ball forward wide early and often. The Dane held things together in midfield expertly and is always so calm when he wins it back. Christian Norgaard: Brilliant ball for Mbuemo to clinch the win and he is so underrated. It is no fluke they’ve beaten Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Man United and now Liverpool since they were promoted to the Premier League in the summer of 2021. Brentford took the lead through an Ibrahima Konate own goal and Yoane Wissa made it 2-0, but only after he was involved in two Brentford goals being ruled out for offside.

This was how Liverpool's last away result played out, against Aston Villa. Young Spaniard Stefan Bajcetic scored in a 1-3 win against Unai Emery's side.

The man behind the VAR screen will be Darren England. 6 NoJordanHendersoninthesquad for Klopp either, which is why Elliott has made the starting XI. Nope, I don't see the point of it either. The free kick is swung towards Darwin but he heads over. What a fantastic save that was. Darwin went for a spectacular overhead kick, missed the ball, and it fell to Oxlade-Chamberlain. Brentford stomp it out well. All of those chances, had any of them gone over the line, would have counted. He definitely didn't try to with his feet.

We need to have confidence we can beat any team in the world. Perhaps now it's the Gunners turn to go toe-to-toe with the league's richest club, and try to overthrow their controlling influence. The second goal is a good example of that, we are brave and aggressive. It's not that we didn't fight, in the end we are responsible for the defeat. We are very difficult to break down. "Set-pieces, we know, we are good. "As Arsenal begin the exciting phase of their - what looks to be - seismic rise, to rival City, Liverpool are falling further and further behind. It shouldn't, in a way, be possible as Brentford to beat Liverpool. Of course we don't behave perfectly but, like I said, they stretch the rules in these moments, they're really pushing, really holding and everything. "Not a top-class game, but we still had chances. You have to use all your opportunities. Liverpool protested, but Stuart Attwell's wrist watch signalled the ball had fully crossed the line.

Looked to drive forward when he received the ball and unlock Brentford with cute passes and combinations. Joël Matip — 5/10 Produced an excellent finish after Thiago's dinked ball in behind but was a fraction offside. Naby Keïta — 5/10 Needs to work on the timing of his runs. Mohamed Salah — 5/10 Fabinho — 5/10 A misjudgement allowed Mbeumo to streak clear, but Alisson bailed him out. Thiago Alcântara — 5/10 with overly hopeful crosses Perhaps should have been more alert to the danger posed by Wissa for his goal, though he was overloaded. But Liverpool couldn't find an equaliser and Mbeumo then made the points safe for Thomas Frank's side with a late counter. Kostas Tsimikas — 5/10
