Klopp on Liverpool latest injury news ahead of Brentford

Follow live reaction after Liverpool travelled to Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday night.

Mohamed Salah scored his 100th Premier League goal for Liverpool but it was not enough to beat Brentford, who twice pegged the Reds back in a breathless 3-3 draw.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were unable to reap the maximum profit from slip-ups by Manchester United and Chelsea earlier in the day as they shared the points after an early-evening cracker in west London.

Instead they moved just one point clear at the top, while preserving the top flight’s only remaining unbeaten record.

And Klopp will be relieved at that after Ivan Toney had what would have been a late winner ruled out for offside.

OFF THE LINE! Ajer saves Brentford!

Brentford 0 - 0 Liverpool

9 mins: How has Salah not scored? Brilliant defending from Ajer that’s how. Jones wins the ball in midfield taking it off Christian Norgaard. He pokes it out to Diogo Jota who feeds Salah into the box first time. David Raya comes out to meet Salah but he dinks it past the goalkeeper. Everyone is waiting for the ball to cross the line but Ajer sprints back and dives at the ball, clearing it off the line at the last minute ans sparing Brentford from going a goal behind!

Brentford 0 - 0 Liverpool

6 mins: Crunch. Salah drives down the right wing once again but can’t find the space to swing in a cross. He knocks it back to Jordan Henderson who flicks the ball into the area. Kristoffer Ajer and Curtis Jones both attempt to win the aerial ball but the defender is the stronger man. He throws himself at the ball, heads it clear and cleans out Jones in the process.

Brentford 0 - 0 Liverpool

Kick off: Liverpool get the last Premier League match of the day underway. The ball is played out back to Alisson who boots it up to the left wing towards Sadio Mane but he can’t bring in under control and Brentford win a throw in.

Brentford vs Liverpool

Here come the teams. The Brentford fans are in full voice singing ‘Hey Jude’ as they welcome the players onto the pitch. This match has the potential for a lot of goals. If Brentford concede early it could be long day for the Bees.

Jordan Henderson leads out Liverpool. Mo Salah is one goal away from 100 Premier League goals for the Reds.

Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo are last out of the tunnel. Can they upset the visitors this evening?

Brentford vs Liverpool

Liverpool are hoping to continue their undefeated start to the Premier League season. If they pick up all three points against Brentford they will go clear at the top of the table.

For Thomas Frank’s men, three points would move them up to a potential seventh place and they would be just two points behind the Reds.
