Darwin Nunez leads the line for Liverpool, with Cody Gakpo is missing for today’s Premier League trip to Brighton.
Gakpo was forced off at Spurs last weekend and is not available for the trip to the Amex Stadium, though Jurgen Klopp is optimistic he will be back after the international break.

Klopp: “Cody, there is a good chance. He is already out of the brace, walks normal around, so from all the very, very bad opportunities and possibilities injury-wise, I think he nearly got the best but is still injured.”
With the Red also without Diogo Jota after his red card against Spurs, it is Nunez alongside Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah in the front three.
Curtis Jones is also suspended, as Harvey Elliott gets the nod in midfield, but Klopp is able to welcome Trent Alexander-Arnold back into the starting line-up.
Alexander-Arnold made his first start in over a month against Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday, playing just over an hour in the 2-0 Europa League win.
Thiago Alcantara remains sidelined and Stefan Bajcetic has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury.
Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Elliott; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Subs: Adrian, Endo, Konate, Gomez, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Chambers, Doak, Quansah
