Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was outraged when VAR controversially ruled out Jarell Quansah\u2019s late equaliser in the Reds\u2019 dramatic 3-2 defeat to Toulouse, but Joe Cole insisted the \u201cref got it right\u201d after disallowing the goal because of an earlier Alexis Mac Allister handball.<\/p>\n
Quansah was denied his first Liverpool goal after bundling in a 98th minute equaliser when Mac Allister was ruled to have used his arm to control the ball as the Reds pressed for a late draw in the Europa League clash.<\/p>\n
However, Liverpool and Klopp were livid as Mac Allister\u2019s handball came several phases before Quansah thought he had levelled. The Argentine midfielder\u2019s touch came roughly 10 seconds before the 20-year-old scrambled in the equaliser.<\/p>\n

Despite Brentford\u2019s recent success in the Premier League, Anfield is still a tricky place to go and win. <\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp has a tendancy to inspire his team when they\u2019re going through a rough patch – which they are – so expect the Reds to come out firing in front of their home support. <\/p>\n
Liverpool should secure a victory but it\u2019ll be a close one. <\/p>\n
Liverpool 2-1 Brentford<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Alexis Mac Allister is suspended after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season against Luton, forcing Jurgen Klopp into a midfield change. Wataru Endo is likely to come in, though Klopp admitted on Friday that he would consider Trent Alexander-Arnold as a midfield option. Virgil van Dijk should be available after illness but Andy Robertson and Thiago Alcantara are among Liverpool\u2019s longer-term absentees.<\/p>\n Brentford manager Thomas Frank took off goalkeeper Mark Flekken last week with an apparent injury, but the Dutchman seems to have recovered sufficiently from a dead leg to start. Aaron Hickey, though, will miss the rest of the year to add to a growing injury list for Frank.<\/p>\n Predicted line-ups<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Endo, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Jota.<\/p>\n Brentford XI: Flekken; Roerslev, Ajer, Collins, Pinnock, Janelt; Jensen, Norgaard, Onyeka; Mbeumo, Wissa.<\/p>\n Liverpool vs Brentford is due to kick off at 2pm GMT on Sunday 12 November at Anfield.<\/p>\n Viewers in the United Kingdom will not be able to watch the match live, with Sky Sports showing West Ham vs Nottingham Forest instead. <\/p>\n Free-to-air, extended highlights will be available to watch on Match of the Day 2, which airs at 10.40pm on Sunday evening on BBC One and is available via the iPlayer.<\/p>\n The fixture has been moved from a Saturday 3pm kick-off due to the Reds\u2019 involvement in the Europa League on Thursday.<\/p>\nLiverpool vs Brentford early team news<\/h3>\n
