Team News
Brighton
Brighton came through their FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough with no new injury concerns to report, although Anfield hat-trick hero Trossard will miss out after landing himself in hot water with De Zerbi, having left training early last week after being told that he would not play in the cup.

Jakub Moder is the hosts' only injury absentee for this game, though, as the Poland midfielder targets a return from a knee problem next month, and De Zerbi was able to give Adam Webster some minutes off the bench in the FA Cup, where Lewis Dunk was rested.

An expected return for Mac Allister in the final third means that Lallana may have to accept a spot on the bench against his former club, while emerging star Evan Ferguson should enjoy another start up front.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Lamptey, Dunk, Webster, Estupinan; Caicedo, Gross; March, Mac Allister, Mitoma; Ferguson

Liverpool
Over at Anfield, Liverpool's long-term absentees Diogo Jota, Arthur, Luis Diaz and Virgil van Dijk all remain out of contention, while Roberto Firmino has suffered a setback in his recovery from a calf issue, but James Milner (hamstring) should be available.

On another negative note, Klopp is unsure if Darwin Nunez will be fit to play after picking up an unspecified injury, so Cody Gakpo's first Premier League start is seemingly a guarantee.

The 23-year-old - who admitted to having "good and sloppy" moments in his inaugural appearance - ought to line up at the tip of the attack here, while Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate will pair up in the absence of Van Dijk.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Konate, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Gakpo, Oxlade-Chamberlain
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-2 Liverpool
