Latest Brighton vs Liverpool team information
In the pre-match press conference, coach Arne Slot did not reveal much information about the squad, but it can be confirmed that Joe Gomez is still not ready to return after a hamstring injury, and Tyler Morton (shoulder) also continues to be absent.
Slot doesn’t rule out Alexander-Arnold starting against Brighton, especially if the injury-prone Conor Bradley isn’t risked playing two games in two weeks, but Jarell Quansah could be the preferred option.
Mohamed Salah could reach two memorable milestones on Monday. If he scores, he will set a record for most away goals in a Premier League season (17). However, Salah has failed to score or assist in five of his last seven appearances.
On Brighton's side, coach Hurzeler received good news with three important returns: Joao Pedro finished his suspension, while Lewis Dunk and Joel Veltman both recovered from injury.
However, Georginio Rutter (ankle) is unlikely to return until the final game of the season. Three other players – James Milner (thigh), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe) and Solly March (knee) – are still unavailable.
Although Veltman is fit again, he may struggle to regain his place at right-back from Mats Wieffer – Slot’s former pupil at Feyenoord – while Joao Pedro is likely to start behind Danny Welbeck – who has 10 goals this season.

Latest Brighton vs Liverpool football commentary
Liverpool fans can probably count on one hand the number of times manager Arne Slot has made the wrong decision this season. However, he made a serious error against Arsenal last weekend, when Liverpool took a 2-0 lead thanks to Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz.
However, things turned around early in the second half, with Arsenal coming back with vigour and pulling one back through Gabriel Martinelli. Shortly afterwards, Trent Alexander-Arnold – who will move to Real Madrid – was brought on to boos from the home crowd.
The atmosphere at Anfield was already gloomy after Liverpool's poor start to the second half, and bringing on a player like Alexander-Arnold who was about to leave only made things worse, especially when he made a mistake to prevent Mikel Merino from being caught offside, leading to Arsenal's equalizer.
The 2-2 draw against their closest rivals – if you can call it that – was only the third time in Premier League history that Liverpool have failed to win at home after leading by at least two goals at half-time. But the Merseysiders appear to have taken a breather, and Slot may have been planning a holiday at the Ocean Beach Club in Ibiza.
However, loyal fans will not want to see Liverpool fail to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time this season. Remarkably, Liverpool have not lost their last away game of a season since the 2017-18 season.
Brighton, on the other hand, are also in impressive form away from home. Last weekend, they beat Wolves at Molineux. Veteran striker Danny Welbeck – formerly of Arsenal and Manchester United – reached 10 Premier League goals this season with a penalty before Brajan Gruda sealed the score.
Fabian Hurzeler's men are still hopeful of qualifying for the UEFA Conference League. Although Crystal Palace surprised everyone by winning the FA Cup, Brighton could still qualify for Europe's third-tier competition if Chelsea win the Conference League this year but finish sixth or seventh in the Premier League.
After a poor run of results (2 points from 15) from mid-March to mid-April, Brighton have bounced back strongly, picking up 7 points from their last 3 games. However, they have yet to keep a clean sheet in 6 consecutive home games – which is a concern.
Furthermore, Brighton have lost to Liverpool twice this season – a 3-2 defeat in the EFL Cup and a 2-1 defeat at Anfield just days later. However, Brighton have not lost a Premier League game to Liverpool at the Amex since March 2022.
