There is still a little time before the end of the match.
15:20
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT DE LIVERPOOL ! 1-4 (86e)
Taking advantage of an error by the Bees defense, Diaz found Gakpo at the edge of the penalty area. The Dutchman controls and adjusts Flekken with his left foot!

15:17
Double change for Liverpool: 1-3 (83rd)
Mac Allister and Bradley come out. Elliott and Gomez enter.
15:16
There are more and more spaces: 1-3 (81st)
The two teams engage and recover more slowly.
15:11
Brentford can still believe it: 1-3 (77th)
The Bees still have a quarter of an hour of play to hope to snatch a draw.
15:09
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT DE BRENTFORD ! 1-3 (75e)
After a high recovery, Wissa is launched deep. The Congolese crosses back for Reguilon. The Spaniard’s shot is repelled by Kelleher but Toney follows well and scores with a powerful flat foot!
15:08
Change for Brentford: 0-3 (74th)
Damsgaard replaces Jensen.
15:07
Yellow card for Onyeka: 0-3 (73rd)
The Nigerian midfielder was booked for a foul in the opposing camp.
15:06
Brentford tries to react: 0-3 (71st)
The Bees are giving everything to reduce the score but they lack technical qualities at the moment.
15:03
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT DE LIVERPOOL ! 0-3 (68e)
On a deviation from Gakpo’s head, Salah is found in depth. The Egyptian returns to his left foot, plays Collins and crosses his shot to deceive Flekken!
15:01
Yellow card for Endo: 0-2 (67th)
The Japanese was booked for a foul in the opposing camp.
15:01
Liverpool pushes again: (0-2) 66th
The Reds want to take cover. For the moment, the Bees defense is holding up.
14:57
Triple change for Brentford: 0-2 (63rd)
Lewis-Potter, Wissa and Onyeka entered. Rasmussen, Maupay and Norgaard sort.
14:56
We passed the hour mark: 0-2 (61st)
The Reds logically lead in the score. But the meeting is not over yet. The Bees will undoubtedly bring in some new blood.
14:53
HAPPY! 0-2 (58th)
Following a deflection on a distant indirect free kick, Maupay missed the target…The Frenchman was however alone in the penalty area. No regrets, there was an offside position at the start of the action.
14:50
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT DE LIVERPOOL ! 0-2 (55e)
Following a high recovery, Salah found Mac Allister, thrown into the penalty area. The Argentinian performs an oriented control-toe strike sequence to shake the nets!
14:48
Brentford can no longer project themselves: 0-1 (54th)
The Bees are hampered by the Reds’ pressing and are no longer able to get out.
14:45
SALAAAAAAH! 0-1 (51e)
Found in space, slightly on the right side, Salah enters the penalty area and tries a little outside left foot to deceive Flekken. It’s missed! What an opportunity for the Reds!
14:44
DIAZ ! 0-1 (50e)
After a superb sequence, Diaz takes his chance with his right foot at the entrance to the penalty area. It’s above!
14:40
Toney is on the ground: 0-1 (47th)
The Bees center forward was hit in a duel. He is taken care of by the caregivers. He should be able to take his place again.
14:40
Change for Liverpool: 0-1 (46th)
14:39
The players return to the pitch
14:24
IT’S THE BREAK !
Liverpool leads 0-1 thanks to a fine goal from Nunez. But the Bees were very dangerous, especially through Toney, and have not yet said their last word!
14:23
Liverpool con trôle : 0-1 (45e+7)
The Reds wait patiently for halftime.
14:19
WRONG! 0-1 (45e+3)
On an overflow and a cross from Diaz, Salah, alone in front of the cages, fails to regain the ball properly. It must be said that he was somewhat embarrassed by Nunez.
14:16
Eight minutes of added time: 0-1 (45th+1)
With injuries, there is (still) quite a bit of time before the break.
14:14
Change for Liverpool: 0-1 (44th)
14:13
IT’S OVER FOR JOTA! 0-1 (43rd)
Big blow for Liverpool. Jota comes out on a stretcher…It’s more serious than the images suggested…
14:11
Jota remains on the ground…0-1 (41st)
The Portuguese took an (unintentional) blow to the left ankle from one of his teammates during a duel. He is taken care of by the caregivers.
14:09
Liverpool are now patient: 0-1 (38th)
The Reds now play a little less vertically. They control the ball, turn it calmly.
14:06
BUUUUUUUUUUUUT DE LIVERPOOL ! 0-1 (35th)
On a free kick from Brentford, Van Dijk clears far in front. Jota deflects his head to Nunez who is launched, alone, in depth. The Uruguayan comes face to face with Flekken and deceives him with a sumptuous dive ball!
14:04
Change for Liverpool: 0-0 (34th)
Gravenberch replaces Jones, position for position.
14:03
Jones should be replaced: 0-0 (33rd)
The midfielder is obviously too affected to resume…
14:01
Jones remains on the ground: 0-0 (31st)
The Reds midfielder, visibly injured in the left ankle, is taken care of by the trainers.
14:00
NORWAY! 0-0 (29th)
On a quick transition launched on the left side, Norgaard tries his luck at the entrance to the penalty area with his right foot. It’s not framed, but it was a nice collective movement:
13:58
TONEY ! 0-0 (28e)
The Bees center forward takes his chance from afar…It’s once again too crossed and too crushed. Above all, there was much better to do by serving a teammate. Damage !
13:56
Possession is largely to Liverpool’s advantage: 0-0 (26th)
The Reds have had the ball 65% of the time since the start of the match. But it is the Bees who are the most dangerous.
13:54
The match is open: 0-0 (24th)
We have the feeling that both teams can succeed in making the difference, Liverpool on a set play and Brentford in transition.
13:52
SOMETHING! 0-0 (21e)
Great reaction from Liverpool! On a cross on the left side, Jota inherits the ball at the entrance to the penalty area, slightly on the right side. Without hesitation, the Portuguese takes his chance with a half-volley which forces Flekken to perform a tap!
13:51
TONEY ! 0-0 (20e)
On a quick transition, Toney is found in space. The Bees center forward projects, enters the penalty area and strikes. It’s too crushed to really worry Kelleher.
13:48
TONEY ! 0-0 (18e)
On a direct free kick at the entrance to the penalty area, slightly off-center on the left side, Toney takes his chance. It’s right in Kelleher’s gloves.
13:46
TOOOOONEY ! 0-0 (15e)
Found by Maupay in the penalty area, Toney takes his chance with his left foot. It’s a bit too crossed! It was still well done!
13:43
Liverpool took control of the leather: 0-0 (13th)
For several minutes, the Reds have controlled the match by playing in the opposing camp. Will they take advantage of this (small) highlight?
13:41
BRADLEY ! 0-0 (10e)
Superb foray from Bradley into the penalty area. The right side, back in the middle, takes his chance with the outside of his right foot and forces Flekken to relax. Great first opportunity for the Reds!
13:38
Liverpool a du mal : 0-0 (7e)
The Reds are unable, for the moment, to chain several transmissions together. They will have to be more intelligent in their choices and more precise to hope to worry Flekken.
13:35
Janet! 0-0 (4th)
Served in the penalty area by a blind pass from Norgaard, Janelt attempts a cross…instead of trying his luck. The middle of the Bees was all alone. It’s a shame !
13:33
Brentford tries to get a foot on the ball: 0-0 (3rd)
The Bees got into the game well. They monopolize the ball, patiently looking for a gap.
13:30
LET’S GO !
Liverpool kick off the match. Time to play!
13:28
The players return to the pitch
The protocol ceremony begins.
13:21
Liverpool in 4-3-3 with Jones, Jota and Nunez
Jürgen Klopp led (almost) the same team that won against Burnley (3-1) last week. We find in particular Curtis Jones in the midfield, Diego Jota on the right wing of the attack and Darwin Nunez cutting edge. Mohamed Salah starts on the bench.
The Reds’ eleven: Kelleher – Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson – Mac Allister, Endo, Jones – Jota, Nunez, Diaz
13:15
Brentford in 3-5-2 with Reguilon, Toney and Maupay
For this difficult match against Liverpool, Thomas Frank chose to keep his 3-5-2 with in particular Sergio Reguilon on the left side and an attacking duo composed ofIvan Toney et Neal Maupay.
The Bees’ eleven: Flekken – Collins, Ajer, Mee – Rasmussen, Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt, Reguilon – Toney, Maupay
13:11
The challenges of the meeting
An important match…especially for Liverpool. At the top of the Premier League – with one more match than Manchester City – the Reds (1st, 54 points) have the opportunity, in the event of victory, to put pressure on the Citizens and the Gunners who currently have two points behind them. But the task does not look easy for Jürgen Klopp and his men. Indeed, Brentford (14th, 25 points) has nothing to lose. The Bees are far enough from the red zone not to worry and could well play completely relaxed. We should therefore witness a beautiful display
