GOAL! LIVERPOOL SEAL IT
Shocking from Brentford, who play it out from the back and Fernandez once again gets caught with a loose pass. Firmino gets it and sets up Minanmino, who is gifted an easy tap-in. Liverpool surely have the win now.

BRENTFORD CHANGE
Thomas Frank makes his final change, as Mbeumo comes off for Jensen. The 3-4-3 did not last long and this change sees the formation go back to a 3-5-2 for the visitors.

CHAMBERLAIN COMES OFF
Oxlade-Chamberlain cannot continue, and he is replaced by Minamino. What a shame for the midfielder after just scoring for Liverpool.
An injury that Jurgen Klopp really didn't need.

CHAMBERLAIN GOES DOWN
Oxlade-Chamberlain is in trouble here. He goes down after rolling his ankle on the turf and is receiving a bit of treatment. Let's see if he can carry on.

AGAINST THE POST
Big chance for Liverpool!
Alexander-Arnold goes well to feed in Jota in the box on the run by juggling the ball ahead of him. The Portuguese forward hits it first-time, but it crashes against the bottom of the post!
The rebound from Firmino is saved well by Fernandez at his near post.

WHAT A CHANCE!
Brentford do well to win the ball back in midfield, and Norgaard plays in a delightful through ball for Mbeumo, but he hits the shot just wide of the post on the stretch!
Liverpool giving the ball away again!

BLOCK! CORNER FOR LIVERPOOL
Jota drives forward on the left-hand side, but he is stopped in his tracks by Ajer and the hosts have a corner.

CLAIMED!
Good goalkeeping from Alisson, who jumps to claim a loose ball in the air from Baptiste which is floated into the box and travelling slowly.

STRAIGHT AT FERNANDEZ
Curtis Jones does well on the left-hand side, before cutting inside into the half-space just outside the area.
He then hits a low driven shot, but it is once again straight at the Brentford goalkeeper.

SAVE!
Fernandez makes a poor clearance and the ball finds Fabinho just outside the area. The Brazilian hits a powerful effort on goal, but the Brentford goalkeeper catches the ball as it came straight at him.
