Liverpool vs Brighton team news

Slot will be without Diogo Jota and Harvey Elliott until after the November international break, while Alisson Becker isn’t expected back here. Federico Chiesa continues to work towards full fitness, but keeps suffering setbacks.

“I'm not expecting him to be in the squad,” Slot said of Chiesa before the Cup game. “Sometimes, he's there with us, training for a few days, and then he goes out with injury again. So, I don't want to put days or weeks on it because I don't put any pressure on him.”

Brighton could welcome back Joao Pedro after his recent injury absence. Lewis Dunk is also pushing to be fit after missing the midweek game with an injury picked up over the weekend.
