LIVE Liverpool vs Brentford - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Arne Slot takes charge of first league game at Anfield By Kim Morrissey Published: 15:00 BST, 25 August 2024 | Updated: 15:27 BST, 25 August 2024 e-mail View comments Advertisement 14:21 Brentford Team News 14:21 Liverpool Team News - The Reds make one change Arne Slot has made one change to his side that beat Ipswich Town 2-0 last weekend. Ibrahima Konate slots in next to Virgil van Dijk in the backline. The French man comes into the side after Jarell Quansah picked up an injury in training earleir this week.
14:19 Familiar Foe Much to the disappointment of many Liverpool fans Fabio Carvalho will feature on the away teamsheet this evening. Despite being one of Liverpool's star players during their pre-season tour in America, the 21-year-old midfield maestro departed Anfield this summer to join the Bees for a fee of £27.5m.
Speaking about why he decided to leave Liverpool, Caravalho said to Sky Sports: 'I'm not going to just sit on the bench because what's the point?' 14:12 Can The Bees Sting? Thomas Frank's men got off to a flying start this season. Winning their Premier League opener 2-1 against Crystal Palace. As Mbeumo and Wissa both found the back of the net at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Although the Bees had home advantage last week they will hoping they can cause a right upset today at Anfield. They have been in flying form winning four of their last seven Premier League games, which is one more than their previous 21 games combined. 14:02 Anfield is ready to welcome Arne and maybe a bit of history Although Arne Slot has taken charge of the Reds both in Anfield and the Premier League before he has not done it simultaneously.
This will be the first time he will lead his side out to Anfield in a Premier League fixture. The Dutch manager can also create further history in Merseyside today as he can become the first permanent manager to win his opening two Legaue games in charge since Graeme Souness in April 1991. Its safe to say Liverpool fans are rearing for this one.
And no doubt will a loud rendtition of You'll Never Walk Alone belt out just before the whistle is blown to welcome Slot. 13:34 Liverpool hosts The Bees at Anfield Wow! And just like that we have already arrived at the the penultimate match for Gameweek two in the Premier League. What a curtain closer we have in store as Arne Slot takes charge of the Reds in his first league game at Anfield.
Liverpool and Brentford have produced some high scoring games in recent years and I wouldn't put past them to produce yet another one again today. The Reds have won each of their last five home games against the Bees without conceding a single goal. Their last meeting in Anfield saw them put three past their opponents today with talisman Mo Salah registering a brace, whilst Diogo Jota finished off the scoring for the Reds.
Both teams will be well aware that this time around could very well be a different story and Thomas Frank's side will be heading into the game looking to cause an upset. But only time will tell!
