Super challenging to play Frank’s Brentford – Klopp
Liverpool take on Brentford this afternoon in their bid to maintain a challenge towards the top of the Premier League table. The Reds are three points behind leaders Manchester City, though Pep Guardiola’s men face Chelsea in Sunday’s late kick off.
Still, three points for Liverpool will add a bit of pressure to City’s trip to Stamford Bridge and Jurgen Klopp will want his team to get back to winning ways today. Klopp’s men suffered a setback against Luton in their last league outing, with Luis Diaz’s stoppage time goal rescuing a point at Kenilworth Road.
Defeat to Toulouse in the Europa League continued Liverpool’s downward trend and they will want to turn around the form that has seen them take only eight points from their last five league games.
In contrast Brentford are in fine shape. Thomas Frank’s men have won each of their last three fixtures after a slow start to the season and are now up to ninth in the table. A win at Anfield would be another impressive results and give the Bees a realistic sense that they can compete to get into Europe during this campaign.

A big save from the Brazillian.

27 mins: DISALLOWED! Nunez has another ruled out!
It’s an acrobatic finish from the forward but he’s clearly come back from an offside position and the goal is ruled out.
It was a superb save from Flekken initially to deny Van Dijk’s header from the corner.

25 mins: A brief stoppage after a collision between Brentford centre-back duo Pinnock and Mee. The latter came off worse but he’s back up on his feet now and looks alright to continue.

23 mins: A matter of centimetres but the goal is correctly ruled out for offside.
Szoboszlai’s wayward effort fell into the path of Nunez but he was just offside as he finished past Flekken. Goalless it remains.

16 mins: A great surging run from deep by Nunez who is picked out by Salah. The forward doesn’t quite get the power on the effort from a tight angle and Flekken is on hand to turn it behind for a corner.
