Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport’s LIVE coverage of Liverpool’s trip to Brighton and Hove Albion. The Reds can move seven points clear of Manchester City - at least until Monday - with a win, however they are yet to record a victory in 2019. Team news is on the way next.

Alexander-Arnold cuts onto his left and delivers a cross that Shaqiri heads inches wide! So close. Button didn't even move.

Said corner comes to nothing, luckily for the officials, and Firmino is fortunate to escape without a booking shortly after for a clumsy tackle.

Salah can't quite bring down a hopeful flick forward but does, curiously, win a corner.

Liverpool fail to take advantage of a free-kick in the Brighton half and Locadia then fails to take advantage of a chance to counter.

Gross picks out Murray with a deep cross but the striker can't keep his header down.

Locadia takes Brighton first shot - a speculative effort blocked by Fabinho.

Liverpool put together another nice move before Mane's pass to Shaqiri is slightly overhit, allowing Bong to recover the ball.

Robertson finds himself in space and delivers a cross that - likely unintentionally - sits up beautifully for Firmino, eight yards out, but the Brazilian makes only the weakest of contact with the ball and wastes a golden opportunity.

Milner has been out to warm up already, with Alexander-Arnold apparently taking a knock before the match, but so far he looks fine.

Murray puts Alisson under a little pressure and he hits a pass straight out of play. Liverpool dominating possession in the early going.

Robertson has an earlier opportunity to deliver a cross but is unable to find Firmino.

WIthout possession at least, it looks like it's just one up top for Brighton, with Locadia instead playing on the left of a midfield five,

Brighton get us underway.

Traditionalists will be glad to learn that Liverpool are all in red.

Kevin Friend is today's referee and he's getting ready to lead the players out of the tunnel, with kick-off not far away now.

Roberto Firmino has four goals in his last two league games and won on song when Liverpool last visited the Amex.

Big day for this man today.

Brighton are unbeaten in four games, although Chris Hughton has lost all six of his previous matches against Liverpool as a manager. The Seagulls have beaten Manchester United here earlier in the season and recently drew with Arsenal so they are capable of upsetting the big boys at home, although Liverpool have been on a different level to those two teams this season. Klopp was full of praise for his opposite number, as usual, before the game, calling Hughton "outstanding".

The Egyptian magician was the difference when the teams clashed at Anfield earlier in the season.
