Brentford v Liverpool live: score, updates and line-ups

Full time: Liverpool come from behind to beat a Brentford side reduced to nine men, winning 2-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium. Lewis-Potter's header had given the hosts a surprise lead before Yarmoliuk's first-half red card turned the tide, and Muñoz and Isak struck either side of the hour to complete the turnaround. Janelt's late second booking compounded Brentford's misery, and Liverpool saw out the closing stages comfortably, finishing well on top in possession, shots and corners.

Brentford's miserable night gets even worse - Janelt is given a second yellow for a foul on Ngumoha and walks, leaving Brentford down to nine men deep into stoppage time. Liverpool look home and dry at Gtech Community Stadium.

Liverpool are seeing out the closing stages comfortably, keeping the ball with 61.6% possession and continuing to rack up the fouls count against a stretched Brentford side down to ten men. Wirtz was flagged offside as Liverpool probed again, while Brentford's only route back into it has been a free kick won by Thiago out wide, but with little clear-cut threat from it. Barring a late twist, Liverpool look set to see this one out 2-1.

Liverpool continue to dominate against ten men, piling on corners and shots as Brentford are pinned back. Barcola crashed a shot against the bar from a corner, while Muñoz forced a good save from Kelleher before being withdrawn, with Koumas and Gomez both introduced late on to see things out. Brentford have had little joy, Thiago's effort drifting wide and Lewis-Potter heading off target, but Liverpool look comfortable in control.

Liverpool turn the game around in quick fashion! Barcola's clever headed pass sets up Isak, who makes no mistake from close range to put the Reds ahead - Brentford 1-2 Liverpool, and the ten men are now chasing the game.

Liverpool are level! A rapid counter sees Wirtz slip in Muñoz, who finishes coolly from the right side of the box into the bottom corner. The pressure with the extra man finally tells - Brentford 1-1 Liverpool.

Liverpool are starting to find a bit more joy with the extra man, Mac Allister seeing a shot blocked and Jacquet firing over, but it's Brentford who've had the better sight of goal through Anthony, forcing a smart stop from Alisson. Jacquet's booking leaves him walking a tightrope, while Liverpool's foul count keeps climbing as they press for an equaliser against the ten men.

A quiet start to the second half with the stats barely moving - Liverpool still shade possession and shots, but there's been nothing clear-cut since the restart. Both sides have made changes, with Frimpong on for Araujo and Brentford reshuffling after their substitutions at the break, but Liverpool now need to turn their extra man advantage into genuine pressure if they're to find a way back level.

Huge moment right before the break - Yarmoliuk's card is upgraded to red by VAR for violent conduct, leaving Brentford down to ten men. Liverpool go in a goal down but will have the extra man to work with after the restart.

Brentford take the lead against the run of play right on the stroke of half-time - Lewis-Potter rising to head home Igor Thiago's cross after Liverpool had seen a penalty claim overturned by VAR just moments earlier. A cruel twist for a Liverpool side that had been shading things on the ball.

A disruptive few minutes for Liverpool - Barcola's booking led to Szoboszlai's injury and withdrawal for Nyoni - but they've continued to edge things, still holding the edge in possession and shots. Thiago headed over from a corner for Brentford's one sniff, while Barcola fired another effort high and wide after good work from Wirtz. Fouls keep mounting, with Liverpool now giving away eight to Brentford's three, but the visitors remain the side shading it as the half heads towards a close.

Liverpool remain on top without quite carving out a clear opening, Barcola dragging one wide on the break before Isak headed a Mac Allister cross over the bar. Brentford's best moment came from Thiago, who fired across goal and wide after another quick counter, but the hosts are still shading things on the ball. A brief stoppage for Muñoz held things up, though it's otherwise been a stop-start half with fouls continuing to interrupt the flow.

Liverpool have grown into this and nosed ahead in possession, with Mac Allister sending a shot wide from outside the box off a Wirtz-assisted corner. It's still fairly scrappy with free-kicks breaking up play at either end, but Brentford's early threat has faded somewhat as the visitors take control of the ball.

Brentford have edged the opening exchanges at the Gtech, forcing a couple of early corners and seeing Jaidon Anthony get a shot blocked after a swift move down the right. Liverpool have had their moments too though, with Isak flagged offside and Szoboszlai curling one just over from range after a Wirtz lay-off. It's been a scrappy, even start with fouls breaking up any real rhythm for either side.
