Liverpool XI vs. Brighton: Predicted lineup, team news, and the most recent injury information for the Premier League.

Trent Alexander-Arnold can start for Liverpool against Brighton after missing the previous match.

The right-back made his first start in more than a month against Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday, playing just over an hour in the 2-0 victory in the Europa League, and will be ready to do so again three days later.
By starting the game against Belgium, Darwin Nunez assuaged any concerns about his fitness.

The good news for Jurgen Klopp unfortunately stops there.
Due to their red cards against Tottenham the previous time around, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones will not be playing, and he also has three other injured players.

While Stefan Bajcetic has experienced a setback in his recovery and Thiago Alcantara is still out injured, Cody Gakpo scored in north London but sustained an injury as a result, forcing him to miss the trip to the south coast.

The starting lineup for Liverpool was as follows: Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Nunez, and Diaz.

Doubts: None

Outs include Thiago, Bajcetic, Jota (suspended), and Jones (suspended).

Time and date: Sunday, October 8, 2023, at 2 PM.

Amex Stadium is the location.

More news…….

Chris Sutton claims he is completely perplexed by what Liverpool just did.

Chris Sutton is having trouble understanding Liverpool’s recent statement regarding the PGMOL.

The Reds made a scathing statement toward the officials on Sunday, refusing to let the mistakes from their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday go unpunished.

In an odd turn of events, the strongly worded response has drawn a lot of flak.
Former striker Sutton, who questioned Liverpool’s motivations for Mail Sport’s “It’s All Kicking Off” podcast, added his voice to the chorus of critics.

“They aren’t going to get the game replayed, are they?
They aren’t going to get their points back.
The pundit complained, “There are decisions made with VAR, Brighton last season were wrong on a number of occasions, but I don’t think I saw any statements from them.

“I just don’t understand where they’re going with this.
When will this be over, and do they want heads on a platter for this.”

Sutton challenges the claim made by Liverpool.

The response from the larger football community to Liverpool’s struggles this weekend was incredibly disappointing, and Sutton’s response sums it up.

The fact that those who are involved in the game fail to distinguish between, say, what happened to Brighton and what happened on Saturday, has really been quite astounding and eye-opening.

The Reds, like all teams, have experienced VAR errors that went in their favor.
One example of this is the failure to overturn Arsenal’s goal from Gabriel Martinelli at The Emirates last season.

But in that case, as in others, the technology didn’t operate as intended.
The camera had a blind spot, making it impossible for VAR to examine Martinelli’s goal.

In the FA Cup last year, Wolves visited Anfield, and exactly the same thing occurred.
Why should Liverpool request a replay when they didn’t demand one?

To begin with, no one from Liverpool has even suggested a replay or that Spurs forfeit the points.

Second, this was a completely original incident that had never happened before.
According to PGMOL, the goal’s disallowance was due solely to a misunderstanding between the VAR officials and the referee.

Clearly, the error was discovered shortly after the goal was disallowed, but nothing was done to fix it.

Since Liverpool’s statement didn’t go far enough in our opinion, we say as much. Sutton be damned, they ought to pursue this to the very end.
