First team return! Liverpool and Brighton name their starting XIs | OneFootball

Liverpool face Brighton for the second time in a week, after the Reds pulled off a 3-2 victory in EFL Cup action on Wednesday.

This time, the venue is Anfield, and boss Arne Slot is still without goalkeeper Alisson, Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott.

After some rotation in the cup, the Dutchman has reverted to his first choice XI.

Here's how they line up.

Liverpool: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez

Meanwhile Brighton have Matt O'Riley and João Pedro back in training, but neither are quite ready to make the side today.

The Seagulls start Ferdi Kadioglu after he was taken off early against Liverpool in midweek as a precaution.

Will Brighton be spurred on by their showing in midweek? Or will Liverpool make it two from two?
