Going to be very intriguing in the tactual battle from both managers. Obviously Brighton love to build up from the back and entice their opponent to come on to them, which suits our pressing system perfectly.

But if they beat our press, which they will, need to be solid in that midfield area, which is why I expect Endo to start in the dm position. Also big game for Mac, not his fault playing out of position so far, but he hasn’t been at his best yet. What a time to put in a top performance against his old side.

Elliott, Nunez and Trent all starting supposedly.

Why Elliott?

That seems way too attacking but Klopp looks like he’s going for it.

Need this one boys, nice 3 points going into the international break please, esp since Cuty vs Arsenal are playing each other.

Don’t get Elliott over Gravenberch personally

Ally
TAA
Matip
VVD
Robbo
Elliott
Szlob
Mac
Nunez
Salah
Diaz

Both teams have gone attacking

Will Mioma have Trent on toast again?

probably

Elliott isn't a midfielder. Hopefully it works out today.

Elliot has done well in his cameos this season from the bench, probably understands the system better atm than Gravenberch aswell. That right side would worry me though with Trent, Matip and Elliot against Mitoma.

Not much attacking from the bench for us, only gravy and Doak really

The absence of

Thiago
Gakpo
Curtis
Jota

Being felt today

No estupinan means gross at left back for them, hopefully Salah can get some joy.

They will try to play that switch to Mitoma to have him 1v1 with Trent which will drag our defence out of position. We should play a mid block and try to win the ball in the center and hit them on the counter.

Interesting to see how Brighton cope with Europe and the premier games.

About thiago ....
He's had another set back from injury during the week ...

Not surprised...hes the new Keita

Thiago

Just sell this Jan. Nit worth it as all

Definitely want to see us more solid today. Obviously easier with 11 on the pitch but we still give up too many chances most games.

Yes the top 10 of the premier league have some very good attacking players, but we need to start keeping more clean sheets and take the pressure off of Alisson, who has been utterly sensational again so far.

Won’t get anything with 6 months left on his deal and £200k per week wages. Love watching Thiago play but wouldn’t be surprised we never see him in a red shirt again the way these injuries are never ending.

It's not like we wasn't warned. At bayern he also had a bad record but got worse with us.

Our bench looks weak today attacking g wise.

Just need to get thru this one with a win...hopefully gakpo and Thiago🤷‍♂️...along with Jota will be back after the int break.

3 points please
