Brentford vs Liverpool – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as the Bees host the league leaders plus updates from West Ham vs Crystal Palace and Leicester City vs Fulham

Earlier this week, Virgil van Dijk firmly dismissed claims Liverpool may have hit a blip in their title push this season.

‘Ooh, so we are in a crisis now?’ he joked.

‘It only confirms the Premier League is a very tough league where you play against opponents who are very good.

‘It was always going to be tough, same with [Manchester] United at home with their new manager and the game plan they have been showing especially against the bigger teams.

‘Every game is tough, we have to find a way to win.

‘I think if we play like we did in the second half and keep fighting, keep trying, keep finding opportunities then I am very confident we will score goals as well like we have been doing all season.’
