LIVERPOOL TEAM NEWS
Fortune favours the…hosts
Liverpool make the trip to Brighton off the back of a strong start to the new Premier League season and will be high on confidence, despite their controversial defeat against Spurs last time out.
Unfortunately for Reds supporters, Brighton have been one of their bogey teams in recent times with Liverpool last beating today’s opponents in March last year when Luis Diaz and Mo Salah were both on the scoresheet.
Since then Liverpool have drawn once and lost twice against Brighton, with Roberto de Zerbi’s side most recently winning 2-1 in a January FA Cup tie.
Alexis Mac Allister set to return to his old stomping ground
The Argentinian was a star at Brighton and is now returning to the coastal club for the first time since completing his £35m summer move to Liverpool.
He’s slotted into Jurgen Klopp’s midfield with ease and looks like a bargain signing as the Reds overhauled their midfield with Dominik Szoboszlai finding form as Mac Allister’s midfield partner.
Expect Brighton fans to give their former player a good reception before kick-off.
Good afternoon and welcome to Sunday's live action
