Follow all the action from Anfield
Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Brentford today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Liverpool vs Brentford
GREAT SAVE! Flekken does it again! The flying Dutchman excels himself once more, after Salah cuts into the area and slips the ball back inside for Diaz to shoot low and hard towards the bottom corner. Somehow, Flekken saves it!

Opta's live win-predictor has not shifted much, as Liverpool's chances of winning this match sit at 87%, with an 11% chance of it ending in a draw. Still, there's only one goal in it for now.

OFF THE POST! Brentford are being stretched now, as Janelt has to work hard just to concede a corner. From the set-piece, Alexander-Arnold curls a devilish cross towards the near post, which it strikes with a thunderous crash! Then, Konate heads a follow-up header straight at Flekken! Surely, Liverpool are heading for a second goal?

MISS! A delightful combination between Mac Allister and Alexander-Arnold opens up Brentford's back line, but the latter's volleyed cutback from the byline is then sent wide by Jota! Collins dived in to get a toe on it, but he really should've scored!

As the ball runs loose to Salah just inside Brentford's box, Collins comes out to charge the winger's shot down at close quarters. Then, a foul on Janelt eases the pressure on the visitors' defence.

SUPER STOP! Brentford take another corner short, and when the ball does eventually come in from the left by Jensen, Collins forces a sharp save from Alisson! It was a powerful close-range header, but the Brazilian goalkeeper was equal to it!

A deflected cross from the influential Alexander-Arnold drifts too close to Flekken, who drops down to field it inside his six-yard box. While the tempo is not electric at Anfield, it's an increasingly open encounter.

After Mbeumo's shot is blocked behind by Konate, Brentford play their corner-kick short. Then, after Jensen finally delivers it, the ball drops out to Roerslev, who leathers it high over the crossbar from 25 yards.
