Liverpool
One player exited the Liverpool infirmary before the EFL Cup success over Brighton, as Conor Bradley came through the full 90 in midweek, but Harvey Elliott (foot), Diogo Jota (abdominal), Federico Chiesa (fitness) and Alisson Becker (hamstring) are still out.
Slot is not expecting any member of the injured quartet back before the international break - he offered a one-word reply of "no" when asked if Jota will return within the next two weeks - but he is not exactly bereft of options for change.
The Dutchman rotated heavily in midweek and will now recall Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Darwin Nunez and Alexis Mac Allister to the starting lineup to name but a few, and it will be interesting to see whether Kostas Tsimikas is given the nod at left-back over Andy Robertson, who started against both Arsenal and Brighton.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez
Brighton
Meanwhile, Brighton's defensive efforts against Liverpool on Wednesday were not helped by the absence of Lewis Dunk, who hurt his calf in the warm-up to the Wolves draw, and a question mark is hanging over his head for Saturday's match too.
Yankuba Minteh (groin) and Joao Pedro (ankle) are in the same boat, while all of Solly March (knee), James Milner (thigh), Matt O'Riley (ankle) and Adam Webster (thigh) are confined to the visitors' infirmary.
In brighter news, Georginio Rutter is available again after being cup-tied in midweek and could reprise his attacking partnership with Danny Welbeck, while Jack Hinshelwood battled back from a minor injury to come off the bench on Wednesday and may slot straight back into midfield.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan; Adingra, Hinshelwood, Baleba, Mitoma; Rutter, Welbeck
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
