However, the upcoming match promises to be a more formidable challenge, as Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler is expected to reinstate several first-team players to his starting XI for this Liverpool vs Brighton game.

On the other hand, Liverpool will have to cope with the absence of key players such as Alisson and Diogo Jota. 

So, how will the Seagulls lineup for this Liverpool vs Brighton Premier League game? Here is the Liverpool predicted lineup vs Brighton for their Premier League encounter. 

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Brighton - Premier League (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Caoimhin Kelleher

Kelleher will return to the starting lineup after a midweek absence. Following his Czech teammate Vitezslav Jaros' impressive debut performance, Kelleher will aim for a clean sheet against Brighton after their last match.

Right Back: Trent Alexander-Arnold

Having rested during the last match, Alexander-Arnold will be fresh and ready to face Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma in this Liverpool vs Brighton game, who has previously posed challenges for the Liverpool defender.

Centre Back: Ibrahima Konate

The French centre-back will need to be assertive as he prepares to mark Brighton striker Danny Welbeck, who has been in fine form, scoring four times in his last five outings.

Centre Back: Virgil van Dijk

Van Dijk's leadership at the back was missed in the previous game, and he will play a vital role in organising the defence against Brighton's potent attack.

Left Back: Kostas Tsimikas

After starting Andy Robertson midweek, Tsimikas is likely to take his place in the starting lineup, having gained an edge over Robertson due to his recent performances.

Defensive Midfielder: Ryan Gravenberch

Gravenberch's composure in midfield will be crucial as Liverpool seeks to reinforce their defence, providing support against Brighton's attacking threats.

Defensive Midfielder: Alexis Mac Allister

After his return to Brighton sincehis transfer, Mac Allister will be eager to make an impact against his former club in this Liverpool vs Brighton match at Anfield just like he did in the midweek, adding balance and creativity to Liverpool's midfield.

Right Winger: Mohamed Salah

Salah has an impressive record against Brighton, contributing 16 goals and assists in 16 matches. His presence will be pivotal in breaking down Brighton's defence.

Attacking Midfielder: Dominik Szoboszlai

Having previously led the line, Szoboszlai will revert to his preferred number 10 role, where he can dictate play and connect with the forwards in this Liverpool vs Brighton Premier League fixture.

Left Winger: Cody Gakpo

Gakpo's performance in midweek was noteworthy, and with Luis Diaz also in fine form, he will aim to continue his scoring streak and exploit the Brighton defence.

Striker: Darwin Nunez

Nunez is gradually finding his form this season and will look to capitalise on any opportunities against Brighton, having scored in his last Premier League start at Anfield.

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Brighton (4-2-3-1): Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez
