Liverpool predicted team vs Brighton: No chance for starlet, Origi out

Fabinho

The tripod-like defensive midfielder has looked back to his classy best since the return, and he will likely continue in midfield at the Amex.

His penetrating lofted balls which have proven fruitful the Reds on numerous occasions this season will be useful as they look to break down a compact Seagulls setup.

Jordan Henderson

The skipper was well received when he came on and took the bull by the horns against Villa – he deserves a return to the starting eleven.

The ‘KFC’ midfield didn’t really click offensively last time out, not portraying any chemistry or balance – which shows the importance of the captain’s presence on the pitch as well as off it.

Naby Keita

Guinea’s finest has been silky in the last few and will be crucial in ball carriage at the Amex Stadium.

He has lost possession less than any other Liverpool midfielder this season (FootballSlices) and the Reds have only lost once with him on the field – at the Etihad last week.

Should be a dead cert – it depends if Klopp opts for his trusted midfield with Wijnaldum involved, but I doubt it in a fixture, with all the greatest respect to Brighton, of this smaller magnitude.
