Brighton vs Liverpool team news
Jack Hinshelwood could return for Brighton, along with Yankuba Minteh. Lewis Dunk should miss the game after injuring himself in the warm-up at the weekend, and joins Joao Pedro, Adam Webster and James Milner on the sidelines.
Conor Bradley could return for the Reds, though all of Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota, Harvey Elliott and Alisson Becker are ruled out.
Brighton vs Liverpool prediction
Liverpool will know they won’t have it all their own way on the south coast - and the bookies appear to agree - but Brighton can ship goals against any team and the absence of Lewis Dunk will be a real concern for the hosts.
Even with rotation, the Reds should see this one out.
Liverpool to win, 2-1.
