Brighton supervisor Graham Potter has an nearly full-strength squad for the go to of Liverpool, with Adam Lallana set to return following a hamstring harm.
The Reds will look to revive their profitable kind on Saturday as they head to the Amex for a lunchtime kickoff, 4 days after their 1-0 loss to Inter Milan.
Regardless of that defeat, Liverpool nonetheless sealed progress to the Champions League quarter-finals, with Jurgen Klopp musing afterwards that “if there was any recreation we may have afforded to lose it was this one.”
Brighton welcome Klopp’s aspect to East Sussex on a run of 4 consecutive losses and with just one win of their final 9 video games, having solely discovered the web seven occasions in that interval.
A part of that is because of the ongoing absence of centre-back Adam Webster, and in his pre-match press convention on Thursday, Potter confirmed he would miss out once more.
Nonetheless, the Brighton supervisor defined that “everybody else is accessible,” with Lallana having not too long ago returned to full coaching after a hamstring drawback.
Enock Mwepu, who scored within the 2-2 draw at Anfield in October, can also be again, although Potter admitted he would “have to keep watch over his minutes and his involvement.”
Within the absence of Webster, and with Dan Burn having left for Newcastle, Potter has experimented along with his defensive position, together with each four- and three-man models.
This has included full-backs Joel Veltman and Marc Cucurella filling in as centre-backs, whereas Shane Duffy has extra not too long ago reprised his partnership with Lewis Dunk.
That makes Brighton‘s beginning lineup onerous to foretell, although the identical again 4 that took to the sector within the reverse fixture 5 months in the past may very well be deployed once more.
At Anfield, Cucurella and Veltman have been on the flanks with Dunk and Duffy at centre-back, whereas that day, Potter successfully used two holding midfielders in Mwepu and Yves Bissouma.
It stays to be seen whether or not Lallana will probably be recalled to the aspect, although when match, the previous Liverpool midfielder invariably begins for Brighton.
“We’re trying ahead to an actual problem,” Potter concluded.
Potential Brighton XI: Sanchez; Veltman, Duffy, Dunk, Cucurella; Alzate, Bissouma; Lamptey, Lallana, Trossard; Maupay
