Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League as they beat Brentford 2-1 away from home. Goals from Victor Munoz and Alexander Isak saw the visitors over the line, but the key moment of the game was undoubtedly Yehor Yarmoliuk's red card just before half-time. That it remained a tight game despite that means there were plenty of positives and negatives for Reds reporter David Lynch to take. However, the main focus is on the latter, including Andoni Iraola's brave use of his bench and Bradley Barcola's ability to sniff out chances.

Dave Davis returns with another edition of Newsround on Anfield Index, discussing Liverpool's latest transfer developments and the build-up to their Premier League clash with Brentford. The headlines centre on Daniel Banjaqui, with Liverpool facing growing competition for the highly rated Benfica right-back. Barcelona, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Newcastle United and Manchester United have all been linked with the youngster, while reports suggest Benfica could demand a significant fee to sanction a transfer. Can Liverpool get ahead of their European rivals and secure one of the continent's most promising defensive talents? Attention also turns to Liverpool's midfield recruitment, with Bournemouth's Alex Scott reportedly attracting serious interest from the Reds and Chelsea. Dave questions whether a potential £80m–£100m deal would represent good value and considers whether Real Betis midfielder Sergi Altimira could offer a different solution to Liverpool's midfield problems. There's also discussion surrounding Ronald Araújo's future, with reports suggesting Liverpool retain the option to make his move from Barcelona permanent. Finally, Dave previews Liverpool's difficult trip to Brentford, assessing the latest fitness concerns, his predicted starting XI and the importance of Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak delivering in a demanding Premier League encounter.

Dave Davis returns for the final part of Newsround on Anfield Index, turning his attention to Liverpool's crucial Premier League trip to Brentford. With the Reds looking to build momentum and strengthen their position in the race for Champions League qualification, Dave examines Andoni Iraola's selection decisions ahead of a difficult afternoon at the Gtech Community Stadium. The latest fitness questions surrounding Alexander Isak, Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo take centre stage, with Dave predicting a potential Liverpool starting XI featuring Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola and Victor Muñoz. Following his impressive Champions League hat-trick against LASK, Barcola looks set for another opportunity to impress, but can the French winger reproduce that form against tougher Premier League opposition? Dave also discusses the growing pressure on Florian Wirtz to deliver more consistently in the final third, with Liverpool needing greater attacking output from their key creative players. Attention then turns to Brentford's impressive home form and their dangerous set-piece routines. With the hosts proving difficult to beat and Liverpool facing a demanding physical contest, Virgil van Dijk, Jeremy Jacquet and Ronald Araújo could be crucial to securing three points. Can Liverpool overcome Brentford's aerial threat and produce the performance needed to claim an important away victory? All this and more on Newsround with Dave Davis, exclusively on Anfield Index.

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid return for another episode of Scouser Tommies as Liverpool bury the disappointment of the visit of football’s biggest cheats with a shedload of goals in the European Cup. As well as all the obvious stuff, like would a ref from Huyton ever get a game where Liverpool were away in Manchester, and how can a team found so guilty still be playing in the competition they were proven to have cheated, how important is that the Reds get back to old ways when reacting to bad moments in games? There’s also the question about how Liverpool deal with things go the other way. What is it about being so in control of games that they feel like they can just go home early? It didn’t matter in the end in Austria, but could goal difference be an issue by the end of this Champions League mega-league stage? Also a look ahead to Liverpool’s next two games, the visit to Brentford, before the Champions League night at home to Villareal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
