Liverpool Team News and Confirmed XI vs Brighton
Liverpool return to Premier League action off the back of a huge victory over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
It’s now four games unbeaten for the Reds as Arne Slot continues in his attempt to steady the ship after a disastrous couple of months.
Now, attention turns to today’s clash with Brighton, who currently sit above Liverpool on goal difference in the Premier League table.
However, Liverpool’s preparation hasn’t quite been smooth for this one with a number of blows…
Liverpool Team News
In defence, both right-backs are absent. Jeremie Frimpong remains sidelined with a hamstring issue but could be back in contention for next week’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur, whilst Conor Bradley is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card in the 3-3 draw with Leeds United.
Wataru Endo is one of the midfielders who will miss the Brighton clash due to an ankle injury.
Slot faces a serious headache in attack. Cody Gakpo is set to be sidelined until after Christmas with a muscle issue. Alexander Isak is also a doubt after picking up a knock in the victory against Inter Milan.
Federico Chiesa has recovered from illness and is available for selection. Of course, Mohamed Salah is back in the squad after being left at home for the trip to Milan due to his outburst at Elland Road last week.
