The EFL Cup match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Liverpool is anticipated to be a compelling encounter, showcasing the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. As they prepare for this knockout fixture, team news will be crucial in assessing their potential line-ups. Brighton, known for their tactical discipline under Graham Potter, may opt for a balanced formation that utilizes their pressing game effectively . Liverpool, on the other hand, led by Jürgen Klopp, typically employs an aggressive attacking style complemented by high defensive lines.
The Albion will be looking for a quick turnaround after letting slip a two-goal lead at home to struggling Wolves in the Premier League last weekend. Goals from Danny Welbeck and Evan Ferguson were not enough to secure all three points after conceding two very late goals including a counter-attack from a misplaced Mats Wieffer pass.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are as close to dream land as they can possibly get with the start they have had under Arne Slot. A point behind league leaders Man City with a 100% start in the Champions League and in the Carabao Cup too, it is close as perfect they can get after succeeding fan favourite Jurgen Klopp.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup: Steele; Lamptey, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan; Adingra, Baleba, Wieffer, Mitoma; Enciso, Ferguson
Liverpool possible starting lineup: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Quansah, Tsimikas; Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez
The 24-year-old right-back has played for over 100 games for Brighton to date but appeared for just ten minutes of the last game in the top tier this season. But owing to a busy schedule, he might actually get a start against Liverpool.
He needs to control the skill-full wingers of Liverpool to earn his spot back. This might be a perfect opportunity for him to prove his worth again.
Jack Hinshelwood could return for Brighton, along with Yankuba Minteh. Lewis Dunk should miss the game after injuring himself in the warm-up at the weekend, and joins Joao Pedro, Adam Webster and James Milner on the sidelines.
Conor Bradley could return for the Reds, though all of Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota, Harvey Elliott and Alisson Becker are ruled out.
