The hangover of the 0-5 win at Old Trafford has been long but sweet. In a week in which Liverpool has beaten Preston to reach the quarterfinals of the League Cup, with an eleven full of substitutes, Jürgen Klopp’s men return to the Premier League to face one of the championship revelations. Brighton, fifth in the table, could not withstand Manchester City’s onslaught on the last day and now it is their turn to face the best attack in the competition just a week later: the reds they add 27 goals in nine days, that is, an average of three goals in favor per game.
However, with Atlético on the horizon in the Champions League, Liverpool can make a change for the starting XI that faces Brighton (follow the game live on AS.com). For example, Mané was a substitute at Old Trafford, so it is possible that one between Firmino or Salah will rest this weekend. With 15 goals and five assists in 12 games played this season, Salah is the fittest footballer in Europe. its hat-trick at Old Trafford it was just the latest display of superb performance and a lethal ability to finish plays.
What’s more, Keita and Thiago have returned to training with the group so they could have minutes again -not Fabinho, who is still low-, while Konate will maintain his starting position alongside Van Dijk after his strong performance a week ago against Manchester United. “They have only conceded nine goals and four were last week,” Klopp said of Brighton.
