Brighton vs Liverpool: Liverpool’s injury news and predicted lineup

 


Liverpool will return to Premier League action on Saturday when they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion. The Reds come into the game on the back of two poor results, one a 3-1 loss at the hands of Brentford in the Premier League and then a 2-2 draw against Wolves in the FA Cup.

Liverpool has had an underwhelming season primarily driven down to two main reasons: a lack of consistency and intensity and a set of injuries to a bunch of high-impact star players. That is exactly why they are in a top-four battle rather than a fight for the title.

The Reds will have to be at their best to overcome a Brighton team that is only a point below them in the league and could overtake Klopp’s men with a victory. Here’s the latest Liverpool injury news ahead of the trip to the Amex Stadium.

Roberto Firmino last played the season resumed following the World Cup. Despite Klopp’s optimism that his problem was modest, it remains to be seen if he will play in the rematch of the FA Cup encounter against Brighton or Wolves. 

Hence he is not available.

James Milner has been missing since hobbling off in the 3-2 Carabao Cup loss to Manchester City on December 22. Despite Klopp’s admission that Milner was only anticipated to miss a couple of games, it is unclear whether he will be fit for the matches against Brighton and Wolves. 

Hence he is not available.

Virgil van Dijk suffered an injury in the 3-1 defeat at Brentford. Based on what Klopp had said earlier, Van Dijk will miss out on the entire month. 

Hence he is not available.

Diogo Jota hasn’t played since October and is set to remain out for the rest of the month. He’ll then need to work on his fitness. 

Hence he is not available.

Luis Diaz, during the World Cup, the winger experienced a setback in his recovery during a vacation to Dubai. Diaz is anticipated to return only in March 2023. 

Hence he is not available.

Arthur Melo who is on loan from Juventus has only played 12 minutes for Liverpool and is still out due to surgery. This is a loan that has not worked out for either Liverpool or Arthur. Hence he is not available.

Liverpool has struggled with injuries this season, and they will need to be at their best to beat Brighton on Saturday. The match will be challenging for the club, with essential players unavailable.

Liverpool set to make official move for 24-year-old midfielder valued at£39.8m

Image
  Liverpool have reportedly reignited their interest in Matheus Nunes and are weighing up a £44m swoop for the Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder. The Portugal international was heavily linked with a move to Anfield during the summer transfer window, but Jurgen Klopp’s side decided against spending big on a new lynchpin. Still determined to test himself in the Premier League, Nunes became the latest Portuguese player to arrive at Wolves, who paid €45m (£39.8m) to bring the 24-year-old to the club from Sporting Lisbon. Nunes has one assist to show from 14 Premier League games for Julen Lopetegui’s side, and he is under contract at Molineux until 2027 with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. However, Nunes’s efforts have not been able to prevent Wolves’ slide down the table, with Lopetegui’s men sat 19th in the rankings after taking just 13 points from 17 games. Should Wolves drop back down to the Championship, Nunes would not be e...

(Video) Thiago’s three brilliant defensive challenges that demonstrate his Anfield dominance

Image
  Thiago Alcantara had yet another brilliant display for Liverpool and it wasn’t just his usual passing and attacking prowess that was on show but his tackling and defensive abilities too. One video has been created to show three instances when our No.6 won the ball back inside his own half and they were all done with the usual style and class we are used to seeing from the Spain international. It wasn’t the best display from Jurgen Klopp’s squad but the 31-year-old could leave the pitch with his head held high, after helping the Reds secure all three points. Let’s hope his form continues and that we can extend our run of four successive victories in the Premier League. He is immense pic.twitter.com/KdobOK8Feh — - (@PassLikeThiago) December 31, 2022

Bayern Munich eyeing up another Liverpool star – Likely far cheaper than Mané deal

Image
 With a few clubs, including Manchester United, reportedly interested in Eric Choupo-Moting, currently at Bayern Munich, the Bavarian side are preparing for the worst. Having already lost Robert Lewandowski in the summer, the Bundesliga giants have had to rely on the Cameroon international more often than not, but his contract expires in the summer. This has made him attractive for many clubs in January, which is why Bayern Munich are looking at Liverpool for a potential replacement. This is because the Reds have a player in a similar situation as Choupo-Moting in Roberto Firmino, whose contract at Anfield expires in the summer. There have been reports the Brazilian wouldn’t mind extending at Liverpool, but he will take his time to evaluate what his future can bring him. Media Foot in France suggest that could include a transfer back to Germany, where he initially made a name for himself at Hoffenheim. The outlet explain the Liverpool forward ‘is among the profiles studied’ by...
