Liverpool 'focused' on picking up points as Reds without first team star for Brighton clash

Liverpool will be without goalkeeper Rachael Laws when they travel to Brighton in search of a much-needed win in the Women's Super League this weekend.

The Reds currently sit 10th in the table after regsistering five consecutive WSL defeats and will be hoping for a change of fortunes when they take on the Seagulls at the Broadfield Stadium on Saturday. However manager Matt Beard won't be able to call upon Laws, who is expected to be sidelined for around two weeks after picking up a knock during training.

The Newcastle-born shot stopper has featured in all six of Liverpool's league games so far this season, and joins an injury list which also includes midfielder Ceri Holland, who sustained a groin injury ahead of October's clash with Manchester City. While Holland is making "good progress", assistant manager Amber Whiteley confirmed Sunday's match would come too soon for the Wales international.
