Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Liverpool will be looking to return to winning ways when they make the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp's side suffered a 3-1 defeat to Brentford in the league last time out, with the result leaving them in sixth position in the table, boasting 28 points from their opening 17 matches of the 2022-23 campaign, seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.

The Reds were also in FA Cup action on Saturday, playing out a 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield, meaning that a replay is needed to determine which side advances to the fourth round.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Brighton, who are eighth in the table, just one point behind their opponents here.
