- Liverpool vs Brighton kicks off at 3pm GMT on Saturday at Anfield with no live television coverage in the UK due to the blackout.
- Reports indicate Mohamed Salah will be at Anfield but not in the squad after his Champions League omission, with Slot set to address his status in his pre-match briefing.
- Predicted XI updates suggest Conor Bradley could return at right-back and Milos Kerkez may replace Andy Robertson on the left, though these remain projections.
- There is conflicting reporting on Cody Gakpo, with one outlet saying he remains sidelined after a Leeds injury and another tipping him to start up front alongside Hugo Ekitike.
- Liverpool’s recent home form is described as fragile with three winless outings, while Brighton’s season has been unpredictable following a win at Nottingham Forest and dropped points against Aston Villa and West Ham.
