A new date has been confirmed for Brentford’s away game against Liverpool.

The fixture at Anfield, which was originally scheduled for Saturday 11 November (3pm kick-off), will now take place on Sunday 12 November (2pm kick-off). This is due to the Reds’ participation in the Europa League the preceding Thursday.

Having beaten Jurgen Klopp's side 3-1 at Gtech Community Stadium, the last meeting between the two sides in April ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Bees on Merseyside.

Mohamed Salah netted for the ninth Liverpool game in succession to hand Brentford a first defeat in four Premier League games.

After weathering Liverpool’s early storm, Thomas Frank's side improved and thought they would go in level only for the offside flag to deny Bryan Mbeumo a fine individual effort.

The second half was an even affair. Rico Henry fired the Bees’ best chance wide from 10 yards before Cody Gakpo somehow deflected Diogo Jota’s cross off target from under the shadow of the crossbar.

But, despite pressing for a leveller late on, Brentford could find no way through at Anfield that day.
