Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi insists Jurgen Klopp is still one of the best coaches in the world despite Liverpool's drastic drop-off in form this season.
The Reds travel to the South Coast on Sunday afternoon to lock horns with the Seagulls for the second time in 2023 and two weeks after their 3-0 drubbing at the Amex. However, this time Klopp's men will make the long-haul journey to Brighton in the second stage of their FA Cup defence - which they won for a ninth time after beating Chelsea on penalties at Wembley last May.
Goals from Solly March and Danny Welbeck condemned the Reds to a humbling defeat earlier this month - a sixth of the Premier League campaign - which the Liverpool manager later described as the "worst" game of his managerial career ahead of reaching the impressive 1,000-game milestone.
