Liverpool preview: Salah to return?
There is no indication on whether Mo Salah will play any part on Saturday afternoon, but Arne Slot will be in no rush to bring the Egyptian back after his outburst last weekend. In terms of injuries, Slot is without Jeremie Frimpong, Cody Gakpo, and Giovanni Leoni, while Conor Bradley is suspended.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Jones, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Ekitike, Wirtz
Last five results
- Inter Milan 0-1 Liverpool
- Leeds 3-3 Liverpool

Brighton preview: No Anfield return for Milner
James Milner is one of five Brighton players who will miss the trip to Anfield this weekend, with Stefanos Tzimas, Adam Webster, Solly March and Kaoru Mitoma also ruled out. Tom Watson and Yasin Ayari have an outside chance of making it.
Predicted lineup: Verbruggen (GK), Wieffer, Dunk, Van Hecke, Kadioglu, Ayari, Baleba Minteh, Rutter, De Cuyper, Welbeck
Last five results
- Brighton 1-1 West Ham
- Brighton 3-4 Aston Villa
- Nottingham Forest 0-2 Brighton
- Brighton 2-1 Brentford
- Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton
Player to watch: Hugo Ekitike
Hugo Ekitike has slowed down after a hot start at Liverpool, but he is still seen as the preferred option over Alexander Isak at the top of the pitch for the Reds. The Frenchman scored twice last weekend against Leeds and will now look to follow that up with more goal on Saturday.
