The Champions travel to the south coast to face Brighton & Hove Albion, who are still in a European race.

Fabian Hürzeler had big shoes to fill after Roberto De Zerbi left in the summer. However, with 2 wins in the their final 2 games they’ll better last seasons point tally by 13. Brighton are undefeated in their last 3 games, beating Wolves 0-2 at Mollinuex last week. The Seagulls are 9th in the table fighting with multiple teams to secure the UEFA Europa Conference League spot.

Veteran Danny Welbeck and Joao Pedro have a combined 20 league goals this season. Joao Pedro has been heavily linked to Liverpool approaching the summer window. It’s reported a fee in excess of £60m would be needed to get the striker out of Brighton.

After failing to win at the Amex Stadium on their last 3 visits Liverpool broke their Brighton duck earlier this season. Cody Gakpo struck twice followed by Luis Diaz late on to secure a 2-3 victory in the 4th round of the Carabao Cup. The seagulls then travelled to Anfield 3 days later and lost again 2-1, thanks to comeback goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

Slot was asked if Trent Alexander-Arnold will feature in Liverpool’s final two games and said he hasn’t spoken to him yet. However, Alexander-Arnold has travelled and is expected to be involved. Joe Gomez, has been out since February with a hamstring injury, he was the only unavailable player for the Arsenal fixture. It’s unlikely he will return for the last game of the season.

Kaoru Mitoma’s fitness will be monitored, but Georginio Rutter and ex-Red James Milner are likely to miss out. Solly March remains out for the season, and there’s no new update on Ferdi Kadioglu, last seen in November’s reverse fixture.
