Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp changes his team in three positions compared to the bitter defeat against Tottenham. Joe Gomez will be replaced by Trent Alexander-Arnold, who returns to the team as the regular number one right-back. In addition, Curtis Jones is missing after being sent off and the injured Cody Gakpo is also not there. Midfield talent Harvey Elliott and center forward Darwin Núñez move into the starting lineup. The Reds operate as usual in a 4-3-3 system.
2:42 p.m
Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi is rotating diligently and making six changes compared to the 2-2 draw in the Europa League against Marseille. Jason Steele, Jan Paul van Hecke, Tariq Lamptey, Mahmoud Dahoud, Ansu Fati and Danny Welbeck are all missing from the starting eleven. Bart Verbruggen, Igor Júlio, Carlos Baleba, Simon Adingra, João Pedro and Evan Ferguson are new. Tactically, everything will probably stay with the 4-2-3-1 system.

Liverpool FC are still seething after losing 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur last week after a goal was wrongly disallowed. The defeat ensured that the Reds “only” finished fourth after what was actually a very convincing start to the season. At least in terms of sport, the team was unimpressed and easily defeated Saint-Gilloise 2-0 in the Europa League. Before the unfortunate defeat against Spurs, the Reds were able to win six competitive games in a row and build on their old glory days. Accordingly, Jürgen Klopp’s team is also favored for today’s away game.
2:17 p.m
Brighton & Hove Albion have largely been able to build on their good performances from the previous season and are in sixth place in the Premier League. The club got off to a brilliant start to the season with five wins from the first six league games, but took a real beating in the 6-1 defeat at Aston Villa. Things aren’t exactly going great in the Europa League either, with just one point after two games. They also lost 1-0 against Chelsea FC in the EFL Cup. The bottom line is that there is only one win from the last five competitive games, which is why you have to speak of a small dip in performance.
2:06 p.m
Hello and welcome to the eighth matchday of the Premier League. Brighton & Hove Albion and Liverpool FC meet this Sunday afternoon. The game starts at 3 p.m.
