Liverpool’s manager Jurgen Klopp is planning for some big changes this Sunday against Brighton in the FA Cup fourth-round fixture and has confirmed six substitutions to take place.
Darwin Nunez could gain selection into the start-up squad after recovering from an injury, as a morale-boosting victory is needed by the Reds following their last draw with Chelsea.
The opposing team could prove difficult, as recently Brighton have been scoring 19 goals in their past six games – they comprehensively defeated Middlesbrough 5-1 in the last round.
To reduce risks of early elimination, Klopp isn’t making too many wholesale changes, which will mean full backs Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold swapping roles, Republic of Ireland international Caoimhin Kelleher returning to goalkeeping duty and Stefan Bajcetic keeping his recent run in midfield.
Up front, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino are both out with injuries while Harvey Elliott may drop out of the starting XI making room for Mohammed Salah, Cody Gakpo and a recovered Nunez to lead Liverpool’s attack.
