Comments and predictions for Brighton vs Liverpool: A fateful confrontation
The match between Brighton vs Liverpool in the Carabao Cup takes place at 2:30 a.m. on October 31. Nghe An Newspaper analyzes performance, makes football comments and predicts the score.
Brighton vs Liverpool squad information
Liverpool's injury situation remains largely unchanged, with Harvey Elliott (leg), Alisson Becker (hamstring), and Diogo Jota (abdomen) all expected to miss the game. Federico Chiesa (fitness) and Conor Bradley (unknown) are also doubtful. However, both players are potential candidates to start. Manager Arne Slot may decide to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold with Joe Gomez if he needs to rest the star.
Wataru Endo and Jarell Quansah could also be given a chance to play in the starting line-up, while Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo will be valuable assets up front. Szoboszlai lost out to Curtis Jones in the battle for the top attacking midfielder position against Arsenal.
Brighton, on the other hand, are relieved that Danny Welbeck is fit to play after a back injury, a week after he was stretchered off. Welbeck's presence will be important, especially with Georginio Rutter ruled out of the cup competition, while Joao Pedro remains absent with an ankle injury. The home side also have a problem with Lewis Dunk picking up a calf problem in the warm-up, and Jack Hinshelwood being left out of the squad with a minor injury.

Latest Brighton vs Liverpool football commentary
Liverpool impressed on their way to winning the trophy in the Jurgen Klopp era with a 5-1 win over West Ham in the CARABAO Cup quarter-finals, and Arne Slot's side replicated it just over nine months later. This meant Liverpool have not lost a CARABAO Cup game since December 2022, with that win being the third in a run of eight consecutive wins in all competitions.
However, Liverpool's unbeaten away record under Slot ended in the Premier League when they drew 2-2 with Arsenal. Despite coming behind twice, they still managed to pick up a point, but this cost Liverpool top spot in the table to Manchester City.
Liverpool will now turn their attention to ending their Carabao Cup fourth round jinx, having been eliminated at this stage in each of the last four seasons. Brighton, following a 4-0 draw with Wolves, will be looking to end their run of fourth round defeats in the Carabao Cup. However, they have not progressed beyond this stage since 1978-79.
The game at the Amex could be a win for Brighton, as they are unbeaten in their last three games against Liverpool here, including a 2-1 win in the FA Cup in January. Liverpool won 2-1 at Anfield in their last meeting in March.
Liverpool under Slot have become away specialists, though, and are likely to win a second successive CARABAO Cup title, although Wednesday's victory may not be what fans were hoping for.
