Overview
Liverpool and Brighton meet just days after their Carabao Cup clash, where the Reds beat their opponents 3-2. The win extended Arne Slot's impressive unbeaten run to 10 games, during which they won nine.
Liverpool are currently second in the Premier League, one point behind champions Manchester City. In the Champions League, the Anfield team is one of only two clubs to have won all three of their opening matches.
For Brighton, the Carabao Cup defeat ended their three-match unbeaten run. To be fair, the Amex side's play under Fabian Hurzeler hasn't been bad, but their defence has been lacking in concentration. In their last seven games in all competitions, the Seagulls have conceded 15 goals.
Brighton's defense promises to continue to have trouble against Liverpool's fierce attack. In just the last 3 matches played at Anfield, The Kop scored 9 goals. It will not be surprising if Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo or Darwin Nunez continue to score in the next match.
Salah has scored six goals in nine Premier League appearances this season and the Egyptian will be a major threat to Brighton's fragile defence.
As mentioned, Liverpool have just defeated Brighton to reach the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. That victory extended the Reds' unbeaten run against their opponents to three matches in all competitions.
Human resources situation
Like in midweek, Liverpool will once again be without Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota and Harvey Elliott, with Gakpo pushing for a start after his midweek double against Brighton.
On the other side of the front line, Georginio Rutter could return to Brighton's starting lineup after being absent in midweek.
Expected lineup:
Liverpool: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz, Nunez.
Brighton: Verbruggen, Veltman, Dunk, Igor, Kadioglu, Baleba, Hinshelwood, Mitoma, Rutter, Ayari, Welbeck.
The match between Liverpool and Brighton takes place at 22:00 on November 2 (Vietnam time).
