Liverpool seem to finally be back on form, after back to back 3-1 victories against West Ham and Tottenham, and they face what is seemingly an easier task on Wednesday as they come up against relegation-threatened Brighton.
The Seagulls haven’t been in brilliant form this season, but they are coming off the back of a win against Spurs, and they will be hoping to claim another huge scalp here.
Brighton may not be getting the results, but they have impressed at times this season against some very good teams.
These are the types of games Liverpool need to be winning, and in order to come away victorious, Jurgen Klopp will have to get his team selection spot on.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the Reds’ starting XI for this clash.
We think that Jurgen Klopp will make two changes for this one.
While Xherdan Shaqiri put in a brilliant shift against West Ham, we think he may be replaced by usual first-choice Roberto Firmino, while Curtis Jones could take James Milner’s place in the side after impressing as a substitute against the Hammers.
The big decision Klopp has to make is at centre-half after bringing in Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak on deadline day, but we don’t think either of those two will be ready to start this one just days after arriving at Anfield, although there could be a spot on the bench for Davies.
This means that Nat Phillips and Jordan Henderson once again start together at centre-half as Fabinho is set to miss this game and Joel Matip was ruled out of the remainder of the season.
