Liverpool vs Brentford LIVE!

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are out to cement their spot as Manchester City’s chief title rivals when they welcome Brentford to Anfield this afternoon.

Chelsea’s defeat at the Etihad yesterday left them 13 points off the pace but Liverpool can cut their deficit to eight points by winning both of their games in hand over City.

That starts today with a rematch of the epic 3-3 draw shared between the Reds and Bees in West London earlier this season.

Thomas Frank’s side have adapted to Premier League life nicely and can climb as high as tenth with an unlikely three points on Merseyside.

But a humbling at Southampton in midweek means Brentford have lost three of their last four in the league, while Liverpool are on a run of three league games without a win themselves.

Frank: We need to defend like beasts

Brentford held Liverpool to a thrilling 3-3- draw in September and Thomas Frank wants to go toe to toe with them again this afternoon.

Speaking ahead of kick-off, Frank said: “We did it once. We all know it is that consistency to do it twice.

“It is very rare that a team comes here to Anfield and goes toe to toe with Liverpool. Our ambition is to do the same.

“We need to defend like beasts for 90 minutes. We will try to be front-footed and positive.”

Klopp: We have to unleash Oxlade-Chamberlain

Jurgen Klopp has been speaking before the game and has explained his team selection.

“We had knocks after the Arsenal game but no injuries or Covid cases,” said the Liverpool manager. “We played Thursday-Sunday, it is a short break.

“We just want to bring four fresh legs. That is the reason for the change.

“Curtis had a massive impact in the game against Arsenal when he came on and Oxlade is in a really good moment so we have to unleash these boys.”
