ℹ️ Team News: Brighton

Ferdi Kadıoğlu (Toe joint capsular tear), James Milner (Thigh problems), Georginio Rutter (Foot injury) and Solly March (Knee surgery) will be missing for Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler.

It’s our opinion that The Seagulls will possibly make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Bart Verbruggen, Mats Wieffer, Jan Paul van Hecke, Adam Webster, Pervis Estupinan, Carlos Baleba, Yasin Ayari, Tariq Lamptey, Brajan Gruda, Yankuba Minteh and Danny Welbeck.

📰 Team News: Liverpool

Out of a mainly available group of players, there is just a single fitness issue for the Liverpool manager Arne Slot to be concerned about. Tyler Morton (Shoulder injury) won’t be in action.

We reckon that The Reds appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Caoimhin Kelleher, Conor Bradley, Jarell Quansah, Virgil van Dijk, K. Tsimikas, Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, Harvey Elliott, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota.

⚡ Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion are both more than capable of scoring here.

A draw looks like a realistic possibility but, again, we don’t expect it to end goalless. That’s why our selection here is for a very even match with a draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
