"Only 46 seconds had elapsed when Brighton failed to clear their lines and Joe Gomez's header into the area was perfect for Hugo Ekitike to fire past Bart Verbruggen. It was a dream start for Liverpool and under-pressure boss Arne Slot. The Reds have won just one of their last five games in the league prior to today and the build-up to this game was dominated by Mohamed Salah's outburst that followed the 3-3 draw at Leeds last weekend."
"Slot made two changes from the side that won at San Siro, Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz coming in for Andy Robertson and Alexander Isak. Liverpool: Alisson; Gomez, Van Dijk,Konate, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Jones; Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Ekitike Solly March is back in training for Brighton following a long injury lay-off but does not feature. Centre-back Adam Webster is Brighton's only other absentee with a knee ligament injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season."
Liverpool took an immediate lead against Brighton when Hugo Ekitike scored after 46 seconds following a failed Brighton clearance and Joe Gomez's header into the area. The goal provided an early boost for Arne Slot amid recent poor league form. Mohamed Salah returned to the bench after being omitted for the midweek Inter Milan trip. Slot made two changes, bringing Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz into the starting eleven. Brighton remained without Solly March in the matchday squad and Adam Webster remains sidelined for the season with a knee ligament injury. Historical league stats show Liverpool have lost once in eight home meetings with Brighton.
