Recent form

Liverpool come into this tie on the back of an impressive 1-0 victory away at Sunderland, becoming the first side to inflict defeat on Sunderland at the Stadium Of Light this season.

However, inconsistency has continued to blight Liverpool this season and they currently find themselves outside the Champions League places.

Pressure is building on Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler. His side have only won one of their last 13 league games and their last outing was a 1-0 defeat away at Aston Villa on Wednesday.

In fact Brighton’s last victory came in early January in the last round of the FA Cup when they knocked out Manchester United, winning 2-1 at Old Trafford.

What’s been said?

Liverpool boss Arne Slot said: “We have three clear priorities, FA Cup, Champions League qualification and Champions League. 

“We are also aware of the limited options so the load management is important, the last thing we need is another injury, so that is always the tough thing for a manager, to make the best decision every time. It wouldn’t be the first time a player gets injured if they have to play three in seven. The most important thing is we train today, listen to the players, see how they feel and make the best decisions.”

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler said: “We all know this game is a game of results. We need a result and I think the club and supporters are waiting for this one result. We are all fighting for this and are convinced if we keep having the performances like we did at Aston Villa we will get the results we all need and we all deserve.”
