Liverpool are looking to close the gap on high-flying Brighton as the pair meet in the Premier League at Anfield.
Ando Iraola’s side have won three games in a row in all competitions and were impressive in beating Brentford on the road last weekend.
Brighton have been in majestic domestic form though, scoring 23 times in seven games so far.
Here’s how the sides line up.
Liverpool team news
There’s a reshuffle after midweek action as Andoni Iraola makes two changes to the starting XI that faced Brentford.
Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch come in as Víctor Muñoz and Dominik Szoboszlai are injured.
Liverpool XI: Alisson Becker, Milos Kerkez, Virgil van Dijk, Jérémy Jacquet, Ronald Araujo, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak
Brighton team news
Unsurprisingly, given the nature of their thumping win last weekend, Fabian Hürzeler names an unchanged starting XI from the team that faced Crystal Palace.
Brighton XI: Bart Verbruggen, Olivier Boscagli, Lewis Dunk, Luka Vuskovic, Ferdi Kadioglu, Chema Andrés, Pascal Groß, Maxim De Cuyper, Yasin Ayari, Diego Gómez, Charalampos Kostoulas
