Read on to find out how to watch Liverpool vs Brentford online and get a Premier League live stream, no matter where you are in the world today.
Currently third in the Premier League, the Reds are 11 points worse off than Pep Guardiola's table toppers and find themselves without key forward men Mo Salah and Sadio Mane thanks to their involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations .
The hosts are nevertheless unbeaten at home in the league this season and will fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways against a Bees outfit that looks increasingly vulnerable.
Thomas Frank's side suffered their heaviest of the season so far on Monday as they were brushed aside 4-1 away at Southampton, and another capitulation today would see them drift closer towards the dreaded drop zone.

Forget keys, this Schlage deadbolt will open with an iPhone tap
It's cold outside and you're fumbling in your bag, searching with numb fingers for your house key. One hand grips your iPhone while the other rummages fruitlessly. If you had the new Schlage Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt, though, you could just tap your iPhone on the lock and walk right in.
At CES 2022 , Schlage took the lead in US lock technology by being the first company here in the states to adopt Apple's new HomeKit Home Key platform.
Introduced last year during Apple's World Wide Developers Conference as part of the iOS 15 update, the home automation technology lets you store digital house keys in your Apple Wallet.
The system is simple. Once the lock is installed (I've installed similar smart locks--set aside an afternoon) and added as a new device in Apple Home (with a code or by using the phone's camera to read a HomeKit QR code) it can be registered as a Home Key. You choose one of two unlocking modes: "Require Face ID or Passcode," or "Express Mode."
While Face ID or Passcode means you must unlock your phone to unlock the door, Express Mode lets you tap or touch your phone to the deadbolt without unlocking the iPhone first. The lock also unlocks with a tap with your Apple Watch or an old-fashioned key.
A Schlage press release notes that even if your iPhone has seemingly run out of juice. the iPhone's Power Reserve feature (only supported on iPhone XS and above) may squirrel away enough power to still let you unlock the door.
The Schlage's new Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt also supports more standard smart lock features like the ability to unlock your door remotely for guests, or cohabitants who forgot their key.
It also supports access code entry and will let you store and customize (set usage schedules) for up to 100 codes on the app.
The Home app will also allow the lock to pair with other smart home platforms including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The deadbolt ships in the spring for $299.99.
Smart locks can be quite a boon to home automation, but not all are alike. Those that support fingerprint recognition can be finicky in inclement (wet or very cold) weather. Others that scramble the numbers on a display can cause confusion when you least need it.
Schlage's approach, with a fixed number pad and a separate device (your phone) that you'll surely have on you, might be the right middle path for smart lock adoption. The only other consideration here is power. Smart locks cannot be wired, which means they use batteries for the sensors and to drive the motor that manually locks and unlocks the door. You will be replacing them on a semi-annual basis.
Still, who doesn't want to tap to unlock?
Nokia 10: here's everything we know so far
We've been hearing Nokia 10 rumors for three years now, since the Nokia 9 PureView in 2019, but so far the company has shied away from putting out another top-end mobile like that one.
Loads of names for the anticipated flagship Nokia phone have been touted since the PureView came out - most recently the Nokia X60 was rumored, but before that Nokia 9.2 and 9.3 were also leaked, as well as the one at the top of this article.
You'd be forgiven for abandoning hope at seeing a new flagship phone from HMD Global, which makes Nokia phones, as for the last few years the brand has focused on its main point of interest: budget phones. But never say never.
While Nokia is typically a mid-range and budget phone champion, it does release the odd flagship from time to time, and that's exactly what we're expecting the Nokia 10 to be: the new best phone from the company.
The company's foray into 5G devices with the likes of the Nokia 8.3 5G gave us a fine but uninspired device; hopefully the Nokia 10 will allow the company to show off some cool new camera tech or other top features.
The following article works best not as a typical phone rumor hub, but as a historical document charting the various news and leaks we've heard about the mobile since 2019.
Cut to the chase
Nokia 10 release date and price
The latest release date rumor points to the Nokia 10 (or Nokia X60 as it might be called) launching before November 11 2021 , which very clearly didn't come about, since we're in 2022 and there's still not a sniff of the mobile.
That was easy to believe though, since it was in line with another release date rumor which suggested the phone had slipped into the second half of 2021. Previous release date rumors have been and gone, and these ones have just joined the growing pile of wrong leaks.
We're looking to 2022 for a release now.
Note that the phone could launch as the Nokia 10, but as noted we've also heard that we might see the Nokia X60, Nokia 9.2 or Nokia 9.3, an improved version of the Nokia 9 PureView that was launched at MWC 2019 .
Regarding price, the Nokia 9 PureView launched for $699 / £549 / AU$980, and we'd expect a new 'better' phone to cost at least that much, if not more. Saying that, unless it's a huge upgrade on the older phone we wouldn't expect it to cost a whole lot more.
Nokia 10, Nokia X60, Nokia 9.1, Nokia 9.2 or Nokia 9.3?
We're calling the new smartphone the Nokia 10, because its predecessor was the Nokia 9. However, as noted above we've heard a few different names that the brand could use for its new smartphone.
Given that the brand has launched new G, C and X ranges, there's a good chance that the Nokia 10 will have a letter ahead of its number, and leaks specifically point to a Nokia X60 - along possibly with a Nokia X60 Pro.
There's also the Nokia 9.1, which makes sense in a way, because when the company releases updated smartphones it uses a decimal system – the Nokia 7.1 was succeeded by the Nokia 7.2 , for example. This name would suggest the new flagship is just a slightly improved version of the 9 PureView, not an entirely new device.
Then again, we've also heard Nokia could skip 9.1 and leap straight to 9.2 , a name possibly chosen to make up for the fact it's been delayed so long. We've even heard it referred to as the Nokia 9.3, so take your pick.
Nokia 10 was posited as a name since it's a step up from Nokia 9, and the 9.-something names all imply the phone will be a small step up from the 9 PureView, rather than a whole new thing.
The name 'Nokia 10' seems somewhat likely as, in October 2020, an official Nokia document leaked that name-dropped the phone , though the X60 also has a lot of weight behind it given that's more in line with the brand's current naming conventions.
Nokia 10 / Nokia 9.3 leaks, rumors and news
We've heard the successor to the Nokia 9 PureView could be a 5G handset. That would make sense, especially now that many phones are 5G - including the company's own Nokia 8.3 5G .
We'd also heard that Nokia's next flagship wouldn't be shown at MWC 2020 , so that it could have the high-end Snapdragon 865 processor, as the Nokia 9 had a slightly outdated chipset and it suffered as a result. The cancelling of MWC 2020 made that somewhat of a moot point, though.
However, the Snapdragon 865 has been available for ages now, and we're now hearing that the Nokia 10 has been further delayed so that it can include the Snapdragon 888 .
More recent leaks suggest the Snapdragon 775 processor, new for 2021, is going to be the chipset that powers the Nokia 10 (or whatever it's called). Along with that it will apparently have a sapphire glass display and a stainless steel frame.
Something else we've heard about the next Nokia phone, possibly the Nokia 10, is that it could have an under-screen selfie camera instead of one housed in a notch or bezel, which is a premium feature that could be slightly out of place on a Nokia phone unless this is a truly top-end device.
Presumably this device wouldn't be a Nokia 9 PureView successor, then, as that's a high but not quite top-end phone. For this feature we'd expect a truly cutting-edge flagship.
Speaking of cameras, a source speaking to Nokia Power User claims the Nokia 9.2 PureView (as they call it) will have a very different camera setup to the Nokia 9, though they don't elaborate on how it will differ. There has been talk of a 108MP primary camera and five rear cameras in total, so it looks as though the handset could score highly in the photo-taking department.
More recently we've heard of a flagship phone called the Nokia X60 , which could have a 200MP camera, a 6,000mAh battery, a 144Hz refresh rate for its curved screen, and a secondary screen on the back, all of which certainly sounds impressive. That said, the report also suggested the phone would run HarmonyOS rather than Android - a claim which has been denied by the brand.
Finally, we've heard that Nokia has a foldable phone in the works , and while it's highly unlikely the Nokia 9.1 or 9.2 would be this device, it's possible Nokia could release this handset as the Nokia 10, marking it out as a big leap.
What we want to see in the Nokia 10 / Nokia 9.2
Here are some features we'd hope to see in the next Nokia flagship phone, to make it's a true contender to the other premium phones out right now.
1. A versatile camera
While the Nokia 9 PureView had five rear cameras, we actually found the photo-taking capabilities weren't great, and that's because the cameras all had the same lens and resolution, with the only difference being that some were black and white.
The company did this to ensure its phone took fantastic standard pictures, but because of this it didn't have any snappers with an ultra-wide or telephoto lens, and therefore there was less versatility in terms of pictures you could take.
In the Nokia 10, or whatever the new Nokia flagship is called, we'd hope for a few different lenses, so we can take zoomed-in pictures, decent macro shots, and more. Higher-res sensors wouldn't hurt either.
2. A powerful processor
While the Nokia 9 PureView didn't have a terrible chipset, its Snapdragon 845 chipset was the top-end piece of tech from the year before, and so plenty of phones from 2019 beat it in terms of performance.
Since one of the phone's unique selling points was that it took five photos at once, and exported them as RAW files, a good processor would have been useful.
We'd like to see the current top-end chipset in the Nokia 10 or Nokia 9.2, which will almost certainly be the Snapdragon 865 if the new phone releases in 2020.
This processor would provide the phone snappy processing (obviously), which should be great for photo capture, graphical rendering for games, and even possibly 5G connection, since that chipset has a built-in 5G modem.
3. 5G compatibility
It seems like 2020 could be the year that 5G phones really start becoming affordable, with devices like the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G , OnePlus 7 Pro 5G and Oppo Reno 5G from 2019 all setting you back quite a bit to buy.
We'd like to see Nokia lead the cheap 5G phone charge, with a device that most people can afford (although a 5G plan will still probably be pricey). The Nokia 9.2 could be a prime candidate for this if prices are kept in line with its predecessor.
4. A more comfortable design
One thing we found about the Nokia 9 PureView is that it wasn't exactly the most comfortable phone to hold, with steep angles on the edges and a totally flat screen, in a year when lots of flagships started using curved displays.
On top of that the phone didn't seem to have oleophobic coating, which meant your fingerprints really easily showed up on its screen and body.
If HMD Global really wants its flagship to compete with the other top-end, or even mid-range, smartphones of 2020, it's going to need to create a phone that's great to look at, not just to use.
