Liverpool heads to Brighton on Saturday for a crucial match after a strong Champions League victory.

The team has advanced to the quarter-finals, securing a 4-0 win against Galatasaray at Anfield earlier this week. However, they are fighting for a spot in next season’s Champions League.

Currently fifth in the standings, Arne Slot’s team will look to apply pressure on nearby rivals. A win at the Amex Stadium would briefly lift Liverpool above Aston Villa.

Liverpool team news

Arne Slot deals with significant player absences. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is not traveling to the South Coast due to a new injury.

As a result, Giorgi Mamardashvili will start in goal, marking his 13th appearance of the season while covering for the injured Brazilian.

Additionally, Mohamed Salah is out with a muscle issue from midweek, leading to Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitiké starting up front.

Dominik Szoboszlai arrives in excellent form, having scored four direct free-kicks this season, just one away from the Premier League single-season record.

In defense, Mamardashvili will play behind Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk. In midfield, Alexis Mac Allister returns to face his former club alongside Ryan Gravenberch, with Florian Wirtz in a creative role.

Missing Salah means the team loses their top scorer and assist provider against Brighton, putting more creative responsibility on the midfield, which has struggled at the Amex recently.

Liverpool predicted lineup

Predicted Liverpool team vs Brighton: Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.
