"He comes bearing mixed tidings for Liverpool fans ahead of their match against Nottingham Forest at Anfield tomorrow. A quick summary: Alisson has fully recovered from his hamstring injury, but Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong will be out for at least three weeks. Florian Wirtz is also unavailable, while Joe Gomez missed training yesterday but should be OK for today."
"However, Slot is reluctant to risk him for 90 minutes. Maybe one or two players have to play in positions they normally don't do, he says. Share Premier League press conferences: I don't have today's schedule to hand but it's normally a toss-up between early birds Fabian Hurzeler and Eddie Howe to see who is first out of the traps. It's a state of affairs that ensures football reporters on the Brighton and Newcastle beats have to be up with the lark on Friday mornings."
"The omens for the Mags aren't great because Howe's record against Pep Guardiola in the Premier League is little short of dismal. In 18 attempts to mastermind a league win against him as Bournemouth or Newcastle manager, he's drawn twice and lost 16 times. Eddie Howe will be hoping to mastermind his first Premier League win over Pep Guardiola this weekend at the 19th time of asking"
Alisson has fully recovered from a hamstring injury. Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong will be out for at least three weeks. Florian Wirtz is unavailable. Joe Gomez missed training but should be fit to train; however he is unlikely to be risked for a full 90 minutes. One or two players may have to play in unfamiliar positions. Press-conference turns commonly fall to Fabian Hurzeler or Eddie Howe. Brighton's home form is strong while Brentford struggle away under Keith Andrews. Newcastle could drop into the relegation zone if they lose to Manchester City and other results go against them. Eddie Howe has drawn twice and lost 16 of 18 league meetings with Pep Guardiola.
