Liverpool FORM
Brighton Hove FORM
Key Factors
Liverpool's inconsistent Premier League form and key injuries (Gakpo, Endo, Isak doubtful, Salah's situation) impacting squad depth and attacking prowess.
Brighton's improved consistency, strong attacking options (Welbeck, returning Mitoma) and recent 'bogey team' status against Liverpool.
The tactical battle between Liverpool's attempt to regain league form at Anfield and Brighton's ability to exploit defensive vulnerabilities and counter-attack.
Injuries & Absentees
Liverpool faces significant injury concerns, with Cody Gakpo (muscle injury) and Wataru Endo (knock/ankle injury) expected to be out for weeks. Alexander Isak (knock injury) is a major doubt and faces a late fitness test, while Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) is working his way back and could potentially feature. Giovanni Leoni (ACL) is a long-term absentee. Federico Chiesa has recovered from illness and is expected to be available. Adding to Liverpool's challenges is the ongoing situation with Mohamed Salah, who has not started since November 26 due to a 'public fallout' with the club, and this match could potentially be his last. Brighton has long-term absentees in Stefanos Tzimas (ACL, out for the season), Adam Webster (knee injury, early January 2026 return), and Solly March (knee injury, 2-3 weeks return). However, they receive a significant boost with the return of Kaoru Mitoma (ankle injury), James Milner (muscle injury), Yasin Ayari (muscle), and Tom Watson, all of whom are available for selection.
