Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker
Last year’s Golden Glove winner is still without a clean sheet in the league. Saturday should change that.
Right back: Trent Alexander-Arnold
The Reds sorely missed Trent during the draw with Napoli, his creativity is crucial to our offensive play.
Centre back: Virgil van Dijk
Virgil will be looking to banish the Dries demons after Mertens injured him in the build up to the Napoli goal in midweek.
Centre back: Dejan Lovren
High off the back of a crucial goal against Napoli, we will need the Croatian to be equally as commanding on Saturday.
Left back: Andy Robertson
Robbo will see a lot of the ball on Saturday, fingers crossed he uses it well.
Defensive midfield: Jordan Henderson
With Fabinho both suspended and injured, the captain will drop into a deeper role.
Centre midfield: Gini Wijnaldum
Gini was called upon early against Napoli but we predict him to start in the Liverpool lineup against Brighton.
Centre midfield: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
The Ox changed the tempo of the game when he came on in midweek.
Right wing: Mo Salah
Wednesday was one of Mo’s weaker games, he will have a point to prove on Saturday.
Striker: Bobby Firmino
Bobby came close against Napoli and his smart linkup play deserved a goal. He will be fired up for Brighton.
Left wing: Sadio Mane
Garth Crooks’ favourite for PFA Player of the Year, he will need to prove his credentials on Saturday.
