Mohamed Salah back in Reds squad for Anfield match after Arne Slot talks

Mohamed Salah will return to the Liverpool squad for today’s Premier League meeting with Brighton.

The Reds, who were dramatically denied all three points by an injury-time equaliser away at Leeds last Saturday, recorded a huge victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The win in the San Siro was achieved without Salah after he was omitted from the travelling squad following his extraordinary outburst after being left on the bench again at Elland Road.

As a result, the build-up to the Brighton fixture has been dominated by Salah and whether he will be recalled by Arne Slot for a final game before heading off for the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt, which looks to be happening after positive talks between the pair on Friday.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Liverpool vs Brighton is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off today on Saturday December 13, 2025.

The match will take place at Anfield.

Liverpool vs Brighton prediction

Due to the noise surrounding Salah’s absence, it has somewhat been lost that Liverpool secured a big result against Inter Milan.

A clean sheet should do Slot’s side the world of good. But, as seen on many occasions this season, it could be a false dawn from the reigning Premier League champions.

Anfield is no longer the fortress it once was with Liverpool failing to win any of their last three home games - losing two of them by a three-goal margin - and we think the visitors can get something here.

Draw, 2-2.

Head to head (h2h) history and results
