Reds looking to continue impressive run at Anfield
The Reds beat Barnsley in short order to reach this stage of the competition and have had mixed fortunes since, with galling defeats by Manchester City and Bournemouth in contrast with a 6-0 rout of Qarabag.
They can take heart from a midweek trip to Wearside, too, where they became the first team to beat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light this season.
If it were not for Thomas Frank’s sacking on Wednesday morning, Brighton could reasonably be considered the Premier League’s crisis club.
Fabian Hurzeler is under some scrutiny now the Seagulls have won just two of their last 15 in all competitions.

Liverpool will almost certainly be without Wataru Endo after he was stretchered off in agony in the Sunderland match.
Slot said at full-time: “His injury doesn’t look good. I expect him to be out, unfortunately, for quite a long time again.”
Joe Gomez came on in his place, himself returning from his latest lay-off, and may be forced into a start against the Seagulls.

Dominik Szoboszlai will be available after serving a one-match suspension in midweek.
Slot will not be able to call upon long-term absentees Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni.
Meanwhile for Brighton, Yasin Ayari is closing in on a return to play as he recovers from a shoulder injury. He missed out against Villa midweek but could feature at Anfield.
Mats Wieffer is also pushing for a comeback, while Solly March, Adam Webster and Stafanos Tzimas are all facing extended spells on the sidelines.
Liverpool’s form is extremely difficult to predict this season, but luckily for the Reds, Brighton’s is rather more linear.
Slot’s side were well beaten by Man City last weekend, then became the first team to beat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light this season mere days later. Before a 6-0 defeat of Qarabag came a narrow loss to Bournemouth.
Liverpool are far from consistent at the moment, though Brighton are trending downwards in a startlingly linear fashion.
The Seagulls were thoroughly uninspired in defeat at Villa Park on Wednesday, and will face a tougher opponent on Sunday. Do not expect them to offer much response.
Liverpool to win, 2-0.
Brighton knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup at this stage in 2023, winning 2-1 at the AmEx.
Liverpool wins: 23
Brighton wins: 8
Draws: 11
Liverpool to win: 4/9
