Liverpool vs Brighton LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more today

Liverpool have the chance to go top of the table today but they will need to defeat Brighton at Anfield in order to ensure they do not drop any points in the title race.

It is very close at the top. Arsenal lead the way, on goal difference, with the same number of points as the Reds (64) while Manchester City are just one behind both in third place.

City and Arsenal face each other in the 4.30pm kick and Liverpool will jump into first place before that match kicks off should they beat Brighton.

It will be a tough game as three points for Roberto De Zerbi’s men will send them up to seventh and put them right in the mix to challenge for next season’s European places.

Liverpool vs Brighton will kick off at 2pm BST today, Sunday 31 March – and remember that the clocks have gone forwards overnight.

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage starting at 12.30pm. Subscribers can also watch the match via the Sky Go app.

Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson injured his ankle playing for Scotland in their 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland during the international break and limped off the pitch as a substitute.

He is being assessed ahead of today’s match against Brighton but it is thought that the ankle injury is not as serious as originally feared.

Though he is unlikely to start he may make an appearance off the bench if required.

How the two teams could line up this afternoon:

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Gomez, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Mac Allister, Endo, Szoboszlai, Salah, Nunez, Diaz.

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Veltman, van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan, Baleba, Gross, Adingra, Moder, Ansu Fati, Ferguson.

Liverpool are expected to have Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez available after both have been involved in full training ahead of the match. Ibrahima Konate has taken an additional rest day but is still in contention. Alisson Becker remains sidelined, as does Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota.

Brighton have injuries of their own, but James Milner has a chance of being in the squad to return to his former club after sustaining a thigh injury. Joao Pedro is also a doubt, but Jack Hinshelwood, Kaoru Mitoma and Solomon March are on the long-term injured list.
