Liverpool v Brighton as it happened: Result, score and stats from FA Cup fourth round

The FA Cup remains Liverpool’s best chance of silverware this season and Arne Slot’s men went full-throttle at home to Brighton.

The manner of their preceding 1-0 win at Sunderland proved the Reds are still capable of resolute performances, and they saw off a Brighton side who won at Manchester United in the previous round.

That was a rare highlight in an underwhelming season for the Seagulls. Fabian Hurzeler’s team were 14th in the Premier League table following a defeat at Aston Villa.
