Brighton are looking to beat Liverpool for the second time in as many weeks as they welcome the Reds in the FA Cup fourth round. A 3-0 thumping at the hands of the Seagulls will have Jurgen Klopp thinking ahead of kick off.
One of the main talking points around of the game will be a player not involved as Moises Caicedo has been told to stay away from the club after publicly confirming his desire to leave, amid interest from Arsenal and Chelsea. Manager Roberto De Zerbi will be hoping to quieten talk of transfers with another big scalp today.
Liverpool, meanwhile, lumbered into the fourth round after a narrow replay win over Wolves in an underwhelming display fairly common from the Reds this season. The FA Cup holders will need to improve to remain in the competition. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
