The Reds and Seagulls lock horns this afternoon for the second time in just four days, after a five-goal tussle in midweek. Both managers made changes for the Carabao Cup clash, so expect their respective big guns to return.
Arne Slot will have been happy to see his side come from behind to draw with Arsenal last time out, but further dropped points today will be far more costly in the title race. The manager will also have one eye on a tough Champions League clash with Bayer Leverkusen in the week ahead.
Fabian Hurzeler's will know the 3-2 scoreline in defeat still flattered his side four three days ago and he will be wary of not losing too much momentum after a frustrating draw with Wolves last weekend, conceding twice in the final minutes. Leaving Anfield today with anything will be a huge bonus. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis.
