"Liverpool go into this match off the back of an impressive midweek win at Sunderland that eased the pressure that has been building on Arne Slot. Brighton by contrast are reeling from the concession of a late, late winner at Aston Villa. Meanwhile the Reds have won four of their last five matches against the Seagulls. So. But! Brighton created plenty of chances in their 2-0 defeat at Anfield a couple of months ago."
"And they've got form against Liverpool in the cup, having knocked Jurgen Klopp's side out three years ago, and famously seeing off the otherwise all-conquering team of the Paisley-Fagan era in back-to-back seasons. So despite being on an underwhelming run right now no win for Fabian Hurzeler's men since the third-round victory at Manchester United, six matches ago they'll not be without hope."
Liverpool enter the match after an impressive midweek win at Sunderland, easing pressure that had been building on Arne Slot. Brighton are reeling after conceding a very late winner at Aston Villa. Liverpool have won four of the last five league meetings with Brighton, yet Brighton created numerous chances in a recent 2-0 Anfield defeat. Brighton possess notable cup pedigree against Liverpool, including a victory three years ago and back-to-back wins over the Paisley-Fagan era side. Brighton have not won in six matches since their third-round win at Manchester United, but they remain hopeful. Kick-off at 8pm GMT; extra time and penalties possible.
