Liverpool face a case of deja vu this weekend as they come up against Brighton for the second time this week.
They had a trip to the Amex Stadium on Wednesday for a Carabao Cup clash in which Arne Slot’s side won 3-2 thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz.
They now turn their attention back to the Premier League as they aim to overtake Manchester City who sit at the top of the table, one point ahead of the Reds.
Arne Slot will be pleased with his start as Liverpool boss winning seven of nine games in the Premier League, however they come off a winless match where they drew to title rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Furthermore, the Reds will be without striker Diogo Jota who suffered an injury that Arne Slot confirmed will keep him side-lined until after the November international break.
They face a Brighton side who sit sixth in the Premier League on 16 points from nine games. Fabian Hurzeler’s side are unbeaten in three matches in the league.
