Brighton gear up at the Amex Stadium<\/p>\n
Liverpool are taking on Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium today as both sides look to bounce back from chastening defeats in the Premier League last weekend.<\/p>\n
Liverpool were on the receiving end of that disastrous VAR call which saw Luis Diaz have a goal incorrectly ruled out despite checks confirming he was onside. They enjoyed a Europa League win over Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday but Jurgen Klopp has warned his side they are facing a dangerous opponent in Brighton. \u201cWe expect a really tough game against one of the best sides in the league, the best-coached team in the league, I would say.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brighton, however, were thrashed 6-1 by Aston Villa last weekend with manager Roberto De Zerbi concerned that his squad are not equipped to play European football alongside domestic duties. They come into this one with several injury concerns, after salvaging a late draw at Marseille in the Europa League in midweek.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a fantastic player. I love everything about him – super-smart, tactically and off the pitch as well. So that\u2019s really, really nice to work with him,\u201d Klopp said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe defend more compact and better than we did in our bad phases last year. We have small spaces and it\u2019s really, really good because he sees the situations really well.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd from there we have an extra footballer on the pitch and it\u2019s really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alexis Mac Allister has had to fill an unfamiliar role in Liverpool\u2019s midfield (Mike Egerton\/PA)<\/p>\n Brighton & Hove Albion are the best-coached club in the Premier League and play \u201cincredible football\u201d despite losing their best players, Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said ahead of Sunday\u2019s clash.<\/p>\n Brighton finished sixth last season to qualify for Europe for the first time in the club\u2019s history, but they lost two key midfielders in the close season with Alexis Mac Allister moving to Liverpool while Moises Caicedo made the switch to Chelsea.<\/p>\n The south-coast club are sixth in the league this season but are bottom of their Europa League group without a win while their last league match was a 6-1 humbling by Aston Villa. Liverpool are fourth, one point above Brighton.<\/p>\n \u201cBrighton had a few results which didn\u2019t go exactly in their way, but that\u2019s a completely normal situation in a development. They had a lot of changes, lost top players – one of them we got – and still play incredible football,\u201d Klopp told reporters.<\/p>\n \u201cWe expect a really tough game against one of the best sides in the league, best-coached team in the league, I would say,\u201d Klopp said, adding that they made a \u201csmart move\u201d in hiring Roberto De Zerbi to replace Graham Potter.<\/p>\n \u201cThey made really big steps and are super-consistent \u2013 different formations, different players, lineups \u2013 wow! In the end you always see Brighton football and I couldn\u2019t respect that more.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jurgen Klopp has hailed his counterpart <\/p>\n Roberto de Zerbi making six changes from the team that were hammered by Aston Villa last time out. Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen is in for Jason Steele with Igor Julio, Joao Pedro, Pascal Gross, Carlos Baleba and Simon Adingra also included. Danny Welbeck and Billy Gilmour are among those dropping to the bench.<\/p>\n Jurgen Klopp makes three changes to the Liverpool side that last started the controversial 2-1 defeat at Tottenham.<\/p>\n Harvey Elliott, Darwin Nunez and Trent Alexander-Arnold are included replacing Curtis Jones (suspended), Cody Gakpo (knee injury) and Joe Gomez (bench).<\/p>\n Brighton XI:<\/p>\n Liverpool XI:<\/p>\n Roberto de Zerbi\u2019s men will make things difficult for Jurgen Klopp\u2019s men but there should be enough quality within Liverpool\u2019s team to ensure they ease past a Brighton side struggling for form.<\/p>\n Brighton 1-2 Liverpool.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Brighton lost Pervis Estupinan to injury last Saturday and the defender is expected to be absent for a while according to boss Roberto De Zerbi. Pascal Gross is fit to feature after starting against Marseille but James Milner and Adam Lallana are doubts.<\/p>\n Following their red cards against Tottenham, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota are suspended for this match. Cody Gakpo came off at half time against Tottenham with what appeared to be a leg injury it is doubtful that he will feature with Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara remain absent. Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit again and should start after being named in Gareth Southgate\u2019s upcoming England squad.<\/p>\n Brighton vs Liverpool kicks off at 2pm BST on Sunday 8 October at the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage on the channel from 1pm BST.

We have to analyse Pascal Gross\u2019 situation, for him it was the first game after injury. It\u2019s a tough moment, but I think we can play well anyway.<\/p>\n \u201cThe most important thing is not physical. For Lamptey yes, for Pascal in this moment it can be a physical problem. Lewis Dunk lost the pre-season, Solly March as well lost pre-season. But for the others, the problem is not physical.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about habits. We have to change our habits, but we will reach that point. It\u2019s a target for us, to reach the level which we have to play every game, every week, three games (a week). I don\u2019t know how much time we need, but that\u2019s the target.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Roberto De Zerbi, the Brighton manager (Daniel Cole\/AP)<\/p>\nRecommended<\/h3>\n
