Brighton vs Liverpool team news
Liverpool's injury situation remains largely unchanged, with Harvey Elliott (leg), Alisson Becker (hamstring), and Diogo Jota (abdomen) expected to miss the next game. Federico Chiesa (fitness) and Conor Bradley (unknown) are also doubtful. However, both are potential candidates for a starting spot. Manager Arne Slot may decide to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold with Joe Gomez if the star needs rest.
In addition, Wataru Endo and Jarell Quansah may have a chance to play in the starting lineup, while Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo will be valuable assets in attack. Previously, Szoboszlai lost out to Curtis Jones in the competition for the top attacking midfield position against Arsenal.
Conversely, Brighton are breathing a sigh of relief as Danny Welbeck is fit to play from a back injury, a week after he was stretchered off the pitch. Welbeck's presence will be crucial, especially with Georginio Rutter unavailable for the cup and Joao Pedro still sidelined with an ankle injury. The home side also face difficulties as Lewis Dunk suffered a calf problem during the warm-up, and Jack Hinshelwood is not included in the squad due to a minor injury.

Latest Brighton vs Liverpool football match prediction
On their trophy-winning journey in the Jurgen Klopp era, Liverpool impressed with a 5-1 victory over West Ham in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, and Arne Slot's side successfully replicated this more than nine months later. This shows Liverpool haven't lost a Carabao Cup match since December 2022, with that win being the third in a run of eight consecutive victories across all competitions.
However, Liverpool's perfect away record under manager Slot came to an end in the Premier League when they drew 2-2 against Arsenal. Despite falling behind twice, they still managed to secure a point, but this resulted in Liverpool losing their top spot to Manchester City.
Liverpool will now focus on overcoming their Carabao Cup fourth-round jinx, having been eliminated at this stage in the last four seasons. Brighton, after a 4-0 draw against Wolves, will be looking to end their run of defeats in the Carabao Cup fourth round. However, they haven't progressed beyond this stage since the 1978-79 season.
The match at the Amex Stadium could be an advantage for Brighton, as they are unbeaten in their last three matches against Liverpool there, including a 2-1 FA Cup victory in January. Liverpool won 2-1 at Anfield in their last encounter in March.
Nevertheless, Liverpool under Slot have become specialists on away games and are capable of winning their second consecutive Carabao Cup, although Wednesday's victory may not be as satisfying as fans might expect.
