Liverpool travel to Brighton on Saturday lunchtime, aiming to build on an impressive Champions League win.
The Reds are through to the quarter-finals after beating Galatasaray 4-0 at Anfield in midweek, but face a fight to qualify for next season’s competition.
Fifth in the table as things stand, Arne Slot’s side will be keen to put pressure on the sides around them in Saturday’s early kick-off. A win at the Amex Stadium would see Liverpool climb above Aston Villa, temporarily at least.
Liverpool team news
Arne Slot manages a squad facing a major selection crisis in its most reliable positions. Notably, Alisson Becker did not travel to the South Coast and has been ruled out after a fresh injury concern.
Consequently, Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to start in goal, making his 13th appearance of a campaign where he has frequently had to cover for the Brazilian.
Notably, Mohamed Salah is also sidelined for today’s early kick-off with a muscular issue sustained in midweek, meaning Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitiké will lead the line.
Dominik Szoboszlai enters the match in record-breaking form, having scored four direct free-kicks this season—just one shy of the Premier League single-season record.
Giorgi Mamardashvili will start in goal behind a defence featuring Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk. In midfield, Alexis Mac Allister returns to his former club alongside Ryan Gravenberch, while Florian Wirtz provides the creative link in the number 10 role.
Notably, with Salah unavailable, the Reds lose their top historical scorer and assister against Brighton, placing further creative responsibility on a midfield unit that has found the Amex a difficult hunting ground recently.
Liverpool predicted lineup
Predicted Liverpool team vs Brighton: Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.
