Jurgen Klopp was reunited with a familiar face before Liverpool’s Premier League clash against Brighton.
The Reds take on the Seagulls looking to close the six-point gap with leaders Manchester City.
Klopp named a strong Liverpool line-up to face Brighton, with Luis Diaz, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah named in the forward third.
For Brighton, they are without key defender Adam Webster through injury, but are otherwise unaffected fitness wise.

One player who is on the bench for Brighton is former Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana, who himself is coming back from injury.
Lallana was among the substitutes for Brighton’s defeat to Newcastle last week, and it’s the same again for the visit of Liverpool.
Before kick-off, with players from both teams warming up, Klopp and Lallana reunited on the Amex Stadium pitch.
The pair hugged and then had a lengthy chat, as they caught up more than likely since the reverse fixture at Anfield back in October.
During his time at Liverpool, Lallana made 178 appearances and became a fan favourite on Merseyside before departing for Brighton in 2020.
He has 52 appearances for the Seagulls to his name so far, including 21 this season in all competitions.
