Team News
Liverpool
- Last Saturday, Naby Keita evaded significant injury as a result of Paul Pogba’s challenge which earned him a red card. Still, his injury history makes him a major doubt.
- James Milner is on the bench until the international break ends, as may be Fabinho, due to a knee problem.
- After the injuries to Thiago and Harvey Elliott, Liverpool are short in central midfield.
- Sadio Mane rested last weekend, so Roberto Firmino or Mo Salah may rest this time, only returning against Atletico Madrid.
- And finally, Ibrahima Konate should hold his spot in the side despite Joel Matip and Joe Gomez playing in midweek.
Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Salah, Jota, Mane
Brighton
- Adam Webster returned to first-team action in midweek, which came at a good time because Dan Burn is out injured.
- Back-to-back starts may be too much for Webster. So, Joel Veltman, like last weekend, could play here as a third centre-back.
- There are no issues with Yves Bissouma, according to Graham Potter, and he might return to the fold here.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup: Sanchez; Dunk, Duffy, Webster; Veltman, Gross, Lallana, Moder, Cucurella; Trossard, Maupay
