Liverpool host Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday just a few days after Brighton hosted Liverpool in the League Cup.

The Reds emerged victorious 3-2 in that one thanks to a brace from Cody Gakpo and another goal from Luis Diaz.

Arne Slot's men could return to the top of the table this weekend if Man City drop points versus Bournemouth.
