Liverpool go to Brighton in the Premier League looking to back up their impressive performance against Galatasaray and end their inconsistent run of form.
Captain Virgil van Dijk admitted the Reds have been frustrated by their inconsistency, having dropped points against Wolves and Tottenham in the Premier League in recent weeks.
But Arne Slot’s side produced an excellent display to beat Galatasaray 4-0 in the Champions League and set up a quarter-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain following the international break.
Brighton have won three of their last four games in the Premier League, having beaten Sunderland away from home last time out.
Fabian Hurzeler’s side have already lost twice against Liverpool this season, however, suffering a 2-0 Premier League defeat and a 3-0 FA Cup reverse.
