Slot has, so far at least, resisted calls for new personnel, and sure enough, Liverpool were indistinguishable from Jurgen Klopp’s iteration of the team last weekend. The 2-0 win over Ipswich Town was punctuated by the same fast breaks, the same vulnerability to counterattacks, and the same slow start that fans have grown accustomed to, with who else but Mo Salah making the difference with a goal and an assist.
Brentford too got off to an unconvincing winning start, thanks largely to a pair of highly contentious disallowed goals and an equally fortunate winner. Yet another protracted Ivan Toney saga has left Thomas Frank scrambling to recalibrate his team on the fly, and once again the lion's share of burden has fallen on the shoulders of Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, both of whom found the net last weekend.
It's a quickfire return to Liverpool for new Bees signing Fabio Carvalho, who made the move down south a fortnight ago. He's on the bench.
Line-ups:
Liverpool team: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz, Jota
Brentford team: Flekken, Roerslev, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen, Mbeumo, Wissa

Watch Liverpool vs Brentford from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the soccer on your usual subscription?
You can still watch Liverpool vs Brentford live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 6,000 servers, across 110+ countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.S. but want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service listed below that's showing Liverpool vs Brentford and watch the game.
Watch Liverpool vs Brentford in the U.S.
Soccer fans in the U.S. can watch a Liverpool vs Brentford live stream on Peacock, NBC's streaming service. To tune in, you'll need to be signed up for either a Premium subscription ($7.99/month) or Premium Plus ($13.99/month, which also gets rid of some ads).
If you're outside of the U.S. but have one of these subscriptions, you can watch the Liverpool vs Brentford live stream by using a VPN, such as NordVPN.
Watch Liverpool vs Brentford in the U.K.
Sky Sports hosts the Liverpool vs Brentford live stream in the U.K., so if you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. The game will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, as long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.
Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.
If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £14.99 or month-long access for £34.99.
All sounds great, right? But if you're not in the UK, you can still follow a Liverpool vs Brentford live stream by using one of the best VPN services, such as NordVPN.
