Liverpool team news: Expected 4-2-3-1 line-up vs Brighton as Klopp recalls five big guns
Liverpool return to Premier League action against Brighton in the early kick-off (12:30pm).

Jurgen Klopp said in his press conference ahead of the trip to Brighton that he did not know his starting XI to face the Seagulls. The Liverpool boss would reassess the picture after the final training session as the champions head down to the South Coast.
Liverpool are hoping to have captain Jordan Henderson back in action.
The Reds skipper has been absent ever since he was forced to withdraw from the England squad with muscle tightness.
But Klopp confirmed he trained on Thursday as Liverpool hope to welcome their key man back.
"Hendo trained yesterday, parts of team training and then an individual session," Klopp said on Friday.

"We have to see with that. If you asked me my line-up now, I couldn't tell you. We have to make late decisions."
Thiago Alcantara is set to miss the clash, which comes too soon for the Spaniard.
He is closing in on a return to action and has only featured twice for the Reds since his £20million transfer from Bayern Munich.
Liverpool are now down to bare bones in midfield, as well at centre-back.

Alisson will start in goal against Brighton and the back four should be made up of James Milner, Joel Matip, Fabinho and Andy Robertson.
It could be a third game in seven days for veteran Milner, therefore it would be no surprise if Neco Williams got the nod instead.
In midfield, Gini Wijnaldum starts alongside Henderson with Curtis Jones on standby.
Liverpool do have their four attackers fit though, which could prompt a change of shape to 4-2-3-1.
