Brighton are in superb goal-scoring form, having scored 19 goals in their last six games across all competitions. Last time out, Roberto De Zerbi’s side shared the spoils against Leicester, courtesy of strikes from Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson. Meanwhile this Brighton side were merciless during their trip to Riverside Stadium in the third round of the FA Cup. Alexis MacAllister’s brace alongside strikes from Deniz Undav, Adam Lallana and Pascal Gross handed a comfortable win for the Seagulls against Middlesbrough.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are going through a tough period, having tasted just one win from their last five games across all competitions. Last time out, Jurgen Klopp’s side played out a lacklustre goalless league-draw against Chelsea. .Prior to that, the Reds edged past Wolverhampton Wanderers in the previous round of the FA Cup. Harvey Elliott’s lone strike inside the opening 13 minutes was enough to separate the two sides at Molineux Stadium. The attackers are struggling in front of goal, having netted just once in their last three outings. The front-three of Mohammad Salah, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo needs to step up if they are to reach the last-8 stage of the oldest football competition in the world.
Brighton midfielder Lallana came off injured against the Foxes and will not be available for the next match against the Reds. Meanwhile, the likes of Jakub Moder, Levi Colwill and Facundo Buonanotte are also occupying the medical room. In the absence of Lallana, Pascal Gross might move into the midfield , pushing Mac Alister further forward. As for Liverpool, the injury list consists of Virgil van Dijk, Arthur, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino, while Fabio Carvalho and Nat Philips are also ruled out due to various reasons. Nunez might return to the playing eleven, in place of Elliot, joining Gakpo and Salah up front.
Brighton & Hove Albion Probable line-up: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Estupinan, Gilmour, Gross, March, Mac Allister, Mitoma, Ferguson
Liverpool probable line-up: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Konate, Robertson, Thiago, Bajcetic, Henderson, Salah, Nunez, Gakpo
