Brentford host Liverpool in the Premier League’s early kick-off as Jurgen Klopp’s men hope to extend their lead at the top of the table.
The Reds are currently two points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal though they have played one game more than Pep Guardiola’s side. Collecting three points this afternoon would keep Liverpool ahead of their challengers and continue their winning momentum.
Liverpool could also be boosted by the return of Mohamed Salah who has returned to training after recovering from an injury suffered while on international duty with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. Whether he is fit to start is unknown but his presence should be felt in London even if he plays a role as a substitute.
For their part, Brentford secured a much-needed win against Wolves last time out to keep them six points off the relegation zone. Points are crucial currency at this stage as a congested relegation battle is beginning to develop and Thomas Frank will be hoping his team can distance themselves away from the drop zone.

Brentford 0-1 Liverpool
50 mins: Probably should have been 2-0. Just as the words ‘no chances’ are written, Mo Salah is sent through on goal. He takes a great touch on the halfway line to release himself, has the pace to get into the box, but scuffs the shot as he tries to dink it past Flekken. It goes out for a goal kick.

49 mins: Luis Diaz escapes two challenges and shot from the edge of the box, but it’s well over.
No real chances so far in the second half.

48 mins: Toney wins the ball back and Maupay does well to wriggle out of a couple of challenges. They try and counter down the wing, but a wasteful ball sums up much of the Bees’ recent play.

KICK-OFF! Brentford 0-1 Liverpool
Brentford get us underway in the second half.
Cody Gakpo comes on for Darwin Nunez. No news as to whether it’s tactical or due to an injury.

HALF-TIME! Brentford 0-1 Liverpool
As it stands, the Reds will open up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League. They’re doing what they need to do at the moment.
Manchester City play Chelsea later today, while Arsenal, who ran West Ham ragged last week, play Burnley away.
Despite positive results (as it stands) Klopp will be very worried about those injuries. Liverpool’s medical team confirmed the injury to Jota was related to his knee.

HALF-TIME! Brentford 0-1 Liverpool
Brentford won’t be too displeased with that half, though some naive defending saw Jota and Nunez through on a 2-v-1. Even still, Jota’s headed through-ball was very intelligent play.
The Bees have 45 minutes to get a result here, but don’t bet against Liverpool, even with injuries.

HALF-TIME! Brentford 0-1 Liverpool
The whistle goes and the visitors go into the break one goal ahead.
Both teams played well in parts, with some good attacking play. Liverpool’s goal was a stylish counter, but the blow of losing both Jota and Jones to injury will have annoyed Klopp.

51 mins: The half is petering out somewhat, with both teams seemingly waiting for half-time. Liverpool are controlling the game as we approach the break.

49 mins: Reguilon sends a free-kick straight to Kelleher, but luckily for Brentford, Liverpool can’t counter effectively.
A minute later, Reguilon sends in another – slightly overhit – cross, and Toney almost does brilliantly to control but it runs out of play.

Alan Pardew thought there was “no way” Liverpool would agree to splash out £35million to buy Andy Carroll.
The former Newcastle boss, from 2010 to 2014, sold the striker to the Reds on Deadline Day in January 2011 in what was then a record fee for a British footballer.
Despite the lofty expectations placed upon the ex-England international, Carroll was a flop at Anfield. He netted just 11 goals in 58 appearances before he was shipped off to West Ham for £15million just two years after arriving in Merseyside.

Pardew, 62, opened up about the then-record breaking deal and admitted the sale of Carroll was the “worst” of his managerial career. He told the January Transfer Window Show, sponsored by talkSPORT BET: “I lost Jermain Defoe at West Ham and Andy Carroll and Demba Ba [at Newcastle].

“Andy Carroll was the worst one because, I think the last day was on a Monday, and I was flying up from London as I’d been home to see my family. I was just getting on the flight and Derek Llambias rang me and said the bid is getting really close to £30m and when you get off the other end we might be doing this deal.”

While Pardew said he didn’t want to sell Carroll – who had scored 11 goals in 19 league games up until January – he upped the ante by asking for more cash from then-Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish.
“Being a football manager and the sensible person I am, when I was on the plane I had a little gin and tonic and decided that was not enough because I didn’t want to sell him,” Pardew added.
“When I got off the other end I got on the phone to Derek and said ‘I think if you get £35m then there’s a discussion’, thinking there’s no way Kenny Dalglish is going to spend £35m on Andy Carroll.” Dalglish called his bluff as Carroll became a Liverpool player on January 31 which left the Magpies in dire need of a striker.

“I went to training, popped around and it was all enjoyable. Then there was the bid for £35m, we were all stunned. It was the British transfer record at the time and it was a massive problem for us, it left us really short.”
Devoid of options, Newcastle signed Shefki Kuqi for the rest of the season. The Finnish striker made just six appearances and failed to score as the club finished 12th in the Premier League.
