Liverpool can’t afford a slip-up in their last-gasp push to make the top four when Brentford visit Anfield on Saturday.

A five-match winning run revived the Reds’ season and put them four points behind Manchester United in fourth, although the Red Devils have a game in hand.

Brentford are still in the mix for European qualification and occupy ninth spot, five points outside the top six.

Recent history smiles on the visitors; the Bees earned a 3-1 win over Jurgen Klopp’s side in their last meeting in January.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League (opens in new tab) wherever you are.

VPN guide

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
