Liverpool XI vs Brighton: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Arne Slot has rung the changes again today as Liverpool face Brighton for the second time in four days.

An entertaining 3-2 win on the south coast on Wednesday night secured the Reds a Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Southampton, despite the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Alexis Mac Allister all starting the game on the bench.

Those three all return to the starting line-up at Anfield, along with Virgil van Dijk, as attention returns to the Premier League title race.

Diogo Jota is still sidelined, and is not expected back before the November international break - and the same can be said for goalkeeper Alisson Becker and Harvey Elliott.

Slot delivered a concerning update on Chiesea ahead of the win at the Seagulls, telling reporters: “I'm not expecting him to be in the squad. Sometimes, he's there with us, training for a few days, and then he goes out with injury again.

“So, I don't want to put days or weeks on it because I don't put any pressure on him.”

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Gakpo.

Subs: Jaros, Gomez, Endo, Diaz, Jones, Robertson, Quansah, Morton, Bradley.

Injured: Jota, Alisson, Chiesa, Elliott

Time and date: 3pm GMT today, Saturday, November 2, 2024

Venue: Anfield
