Liverpool play their final match before the international break when they travel to Brighton in the Premier League today (14.00 BST).
The Reds suffered their first top-flight defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur last week. However, that 2-1 reverse was embroiled in VAR controversy while Jurgen Klopp’s side ended the game with nine men.
They bounced back with a 2-0 Europa League triumph over Union SG earlier this week but now face Brighton outfit who Klopp believes are the best coached in the division under Roberto De Zerbi.
Liverpool suffered a chastening 3-0 loss at the AMEX Stadium last term but things have improved significantly since then. Ahead of kick-off, here’s the latest team news for both sides.
1. Thiago Alcantara - out
Still continues to come back from a hip injury that has kept him out since April. Thiago did return to training but has yet to be involved with the team

3. Stefan Bajcetic - out
Not involved against Union and tough to see the teenager being available given the quick turnaround. Bajcetic has been struggling with a calf issue.
4. Curtis Jones - out
Starts the first of a three-match suspension for his red card at Spurs. Liverpool’s appeal was unsuccessful. Photo: HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP via Getty Image
