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.

Liverpool look like the early frontrunners for Gordon, one source said. He grew up there, and his family are Liverpool fans despite him previously being at Everton. Liverpool's interest is strong, they've admired him for some time and there may already have been some informal contacts to assess the possibility of a move, another source told me. The problem is Newcastle will do everything they can to make life difficult for Liverpool again as they did with Alexander Isak.

Just three days after their painful 2-1 Premier League loss to Manchester City, Liverpool steadied themselves with a gritty 1-0 victory away at Sunderland on Wednesday night-handing the Black Cats their first home defeat of the season. Virgil van Dijk's towering header proved decisive, helping Arne Slot's men revive their push for Champions League qualification. The Reds now sit sixth, three points behind fourth‑placed Manchester United with 12 league games still to play.

"You always miss good football players," Slot began (via X account @iMiaSanMia). "He was so important for us last season, but he wasn't the only one. There were more players that were influential in our results. But I think we have replaced them with very good players as well."

Wednesday marked one of the few nights that the match ended, and I was extremely impressed with how we played defensively. Ali didn't have much to do and that is a testament to the work that was being put in, in front of him.

"I have an idea on the line-up and try to see how they played lately, what we have to do, adjust some things, but it's not just Anfield, all big stages and big games always need big personalities," he said at Friday's press conference. "I've said many times it's not about the skills of the players in the first division and Premier League and the big leagues.

A dramatic late turnaround saw Erling Haaland inspire Manchester City to a crucial 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday that kept the Premier League title race alive. Liverpool appeared to be on course to earning all three points thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free kick before Haaland claimed an assist and then a 93rd-minute winner from the penalty spot to ensure Arsenal's lead at the top was cut back to six points.

Liverpool fans made their feelings crystal clear at Anfield today, greeting Marc Guehi with a chorus of boos as his name was announced in the Manchester City starting lineup. The hostile reception, as reported by James Pearce, marked Guehi's first visit to Merseyside since his high-profile transfer saga, with the Anfield faithful evidently holding a grudge against the defender who slipped through their fingers.

Federico Chiesa hasn't quite lived up to expectations in a Liverpool shirt, and he's set to be one of the big talking points of the summer transfer window. The Liverpool board is open to letting him go, with doubts about his ability to adapt to the Premier League pace, while Serie A sides are already moving in for Chiesa. Chiesa was linked with a move away from Liverpool in January as well.

Obviously, football is a massive sport and people have an opinion, which is natural. People expect you to move on quite quickly, and I don't think that's the case,

Liverpool are working on plans to replace struggling manager Arne Slot after a disappointing season. Having spent a massive amount on new signings last summer, Slot has struggled to keep the club competitive at the top level. Since October, Liverpool have struggled to keep up pace with Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League standings. Although their performances have been impressive in the Champions League, they have failed to have the same impact in the Premier League.
