Jamie O'Hara clashes with Liverpool fan over Arne Slot's decision to start Cody Gakpo and take off Isak
Arne Slot's side, who had lost four games in a row, thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in Germany to get back on track.
They're now aiming to build on that and find three points in the top-flight against a Brentford side that beat West Ham last time out.
It's a crucial game for Liverpool in the title race, but they've been made to wait on Saturday after the game was rescheduled...
Why is Brentford vs Liverpool at 8pm?
The Premier League clash at the Gtech Community Stadium will take place on Saturday, October 25, at the changed time of 8pm.

Originally, the fixture was planned for an early start, with the game being selected by TNT Sports for TV coverage.
However, kick-off has been moved back to the late evening slot to give more time for Liverpool to travel and rest.
Typically, teams in the top-flight are given at least two clear days between fixtures to avoid players being overworked.
As the Reds played Frankfurt in Germany on Wednesday, the 8pm start prevents such a rapid turnaround as a 12:30pm kick-off.
The official Premier League explanation reads: "Brentford v Liverpool moved due to Liverpool being scheduled to play away in the Champions League the Wednesday before."
This game being moved has meant that there will also be no early kick-off on Saturday this weekend.
