When Liverpool and Brighton square off later today in the Premier League, they will be looking to get back to winning ways after last week’s Europa League victory over Union SG.

The Seagulls are only one point behind the Reds in the league standings and thrashed them 3-0 at Amex Stadium last year. Who will win out in the end?

Jurgen Klopp may make five changes to the lineup from Thursday night, according to the team news.

The core defensive partnership of captain Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate could resume at the back. Tsimikas should be replaced by Robertson to play left back.

Ryan Gravenberch should get the start in his debut Premier League game with Jones out due to suspension. The Dutch player might square up against Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai in the park’s middle.

In the attacking third, Dioga Jota was sent off in the last game against Tottenham Hotspur and he is unavailable vs Brighton.

On the other hand, Klopp has confirmed that Cody Gakpo is injured and may return after the international break.

In such a scenario, Darwin Nunez would likely feature as the main center forward up front. Salah should retain his right wing position. At the other end, Luis Diaz must return to start on the left flank.

Liverpool’s predicted 4-3-3 starting lineup vs Brighton: Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson – Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister – Salah, Nunez, Diaz.

Mo Salah has shot at eclipsing Kenny Dalglish on Jurgen Klopp’s milestone day

It is a momentous day for Jurgen Klopp as he celebrates eight years as Liverpool manager, can he notch league win 191 against tricky Brighton?

On this day eight years ago, Klopp was appointed as Liverpool manager. He has overseen 190 wins in his 303 league games in charge.

Liverpool are six goals short of recording 650 in league games under the German.

And he’ll hope to see 11 players start and finish on his special day as Liverpool have spent almost a quarter of this league campaign with fewer than 11 players on the pitch, in terms of minutes.

Mo Salah needs one goal to become the Reds’ leading scorer in history against Albion. He has six, currently level with Kenny Dalglish.

Salah is also in line to equal the club’s appearance record against the Seagulls. He would join Jordan Henderson on 14.

All of the Egyptian’s three league goals this season have been scored at Anfield. His last top-flight goals away from home came at Leeds in mid-April.

Liverpool have not lost a second successive league game since the 4-1 defeat at Manchester City on April 1. They had lost 1-0 at Bournemouth the previous week.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Andy Robertson of Liverpool’s outfield players have played every minute of the league campaign so far. Alisson has also not missed a minute of league action.

Liverpool have won one of the last six league encounters with Brighton – at the AMEX in March 2022 – drawing three and losing two in that sequence. Prior to that run they had won six on the bounce
