JĂĽrgen Klopp on Alexis Mac Allister:
— Liverpool FC (@LFC) March 30, 2024
Liverpool’s last Premier League encounter was against Manchester City on March 10, which ended in a 1-1 draw thanks to Alexis Mac Allister’s 50th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot. Four days later, the Reds thrashed Sparta Prague 6-1 in the second leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie and thereby booked their place in the last-8 stage of the competition. However, Jurgen Klopp’s side saw their nine game unbeaten run across all competitions, including nine wins, come an end with a loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup on March 17. Liverpool lost the clash at Old Trafford despite the fact that Mac Allister, Mohammed Salah and Harvey Elliott got on the scoresheet. Nevertheless, Klopp’s side are currently sitting at the second spot in the English top flight standings, having collected 64 points from 28 games, level on points with leaders Arsenal but separated by goal-difference.
Brighton, on the other hand, are currently occupying eighth spot in the Premier League standings, having collected 42 points from 28 games, nine adrift of the top five. The Seagulls have recorded 11 league-wins this season and their last success came against Nottingham Forest on March 10 thanks to Andrew Omabamidele’s own goal on the half-hour mark. The result ended their three-game losing run in all competitions, that included a 4-0 drubbing away to Roma in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie. With continental glory no longer possible, the Seagulls have nothing but top flight commitments to focus on for the next two months and are still in pursuit of Europe as seventh-placed West Ham United, who have played two games more are just three points away.
Liverpool probable starting lineup: Kelleher, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez, Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister, Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Brighton & Hove Albion probable starting lineup: Verbruggen, Lamptey, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan, Gross, Gilmour, Adingra, Lallana, Fati, Welbeck
