Liverpool vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
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
It seems certain that Liverpool will keep a record of not losing at Anfield in the opening month of the season that stretches back to 2015. The game was effectively killed off by Salah's goal, and the tempo has dipped markedly.

A lofted reverse ball from Salah slices through Brentford's defence, but Nunez can't quite connect with a clean header, and the ball sits up for Flekken to comfortably collect it.

A fairly tame, unconvicing effort from Salah curls straight towards Flekken, who makes a much more simple stop on this occasion. Still, the tide is flowing towards Brentford's box; still, they hold firm.
