LIVE: Liverpool vs Brighton – Sadio Mane comes in for Diogo Jota as Jurgen Klopp’s in-form Reds look to maintain their unbeaten start to the season against the Seagulls after thumping bitter rivals Manchester United

Liverpool will aim to keep pace in the Premier League title race when they host Brighton & Hove Albion among the day’s 3pm action.

Jurgen Klopp’s side stunned fierce rivals Manchester United last weekend with an incredible 5-0 win at Old Trafford, and they will be hoping to avoid complacency and maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign when they host the south coast side.

The Seagulls have also made a great start under Graham Potter but head into the game having not won any of their previous five matches.

 

FULL-TIME: Liverpool 2-2 Brighton

90+1min: Lamptey is booked as four minutes are added on.

Liverpool 2-2 Brighton

88min: Takumi Minamino comes on to replace Curtis Jones and his first act is to crash through a Brighton player to pick up a booking – the first of the game.

 

 

16:47
Liverpool 2-2 Brighton

85min: More Brighton dark arts or genuine concern? Tariq Lamptey has gone down holding his ankle to take the sting out of the game as he needs treatment. The visitors are still defending strongly here.

 

 

16:42
Liverpool 2-2 Brighton

81min: Time running out but this is Liverpool at Anfield, you feel there is at least one big chance still to come from the Reds, no matter how brilliant Brighton have been this afternoon.

Roberto Firmino makes way for Diogo Jota.

 

16:40
Liverpool 2-2 Brighton

78min: It’s not just the pretty stuff Brighton have down to a tee either. Taking a corner, they kill a bit of a time by deciding to switch dead ball takers, in a slow casual manner as you might expect. I’ll give that a 8/10 for the dark arts of the game – it gets boos from the home fans anyway.

 

16:38
Brighton substitution

77min: Warm applause around Anfield as former fsvourite Lallana is replaced by Pascal Gross.

 

 

16:36
Liverpool 2-2 Brighton

75min: Goodness me, the unthinkable nearly happens! Brighton have the ball in the net to take a 3-2 lead, or so they think, but Trossard was slightly offside before racing on to a pass.

 

16:33
Liverpool 2-2 Brighton

72min: As you expect Liverpool are now totally dominating possession, but Brighton are hanging in there.

How Leandro Trossard equalised for Brighton

Brighton substitution

66min: In a change that was going to be made before the goal, Brighton send on Tariq Lamptey for Jakub Moder.

 

16:23
GOAL! Liverpool 2-2 BRIGHTON

65min: This is magnificent! Brighton have totally carved up Liverpool with a superb passing move that ends with Lallana playing Leandro Trossard into the box and slotting home. Brighton have come from 2-0 down to equalise at Anfield!

16:22
Liverpool 2-1 Brighton

61min: Not quite the crash, bang wallop stuff from the first half, but Liverpool will be satisfied for now. They have a control of the game, but don’t write Brighton off here. There is a bite to them this afternoon. What a job Graham Potter is doing with this team by the way. They look feareless.

16:19
Liverpool 2-1 Brighton

58min: Mohamed Salah wants a penalty after going down under minimal pressure from Marc Cucurella, but referee Mike Dean is not having any of it and waves play on. Good call, I might add. It wasn’t quite a dive but it wasn’t too far short of it.

16:16
Liverpool 2-1 Brighton

55min: Back come Liverpool but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sees his effort blocked but after being played in by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

16:11
Liverpool 2-1 Brighton

52min: Some nervous fans inside Anfield now. Brighton are playing some impressive stuff as a passing move is worked well towards Leandro Trossard on the edge of the box whose shot is crucially blocked.

16:09
Liverpool 2-1 Brighton

50min: But back come Brighton! Adam Lallana races on to a lovely flick inside the Liverpool box but the former Reds midfielder can only fire straight at Alisson.

16:08
Liverpool 2-1 Brighton

48min: Liverpool soon have the ball in the net again, Mohamed Salah rolling home after a through ball from Sadio Mane, but he is just offside.

HALF-TIME: Liverpool 2-1 Brighton

 

15:48
Liverpool 2-1 Brighton

44min: Liverpool looked like they were going to go 3-0 up, now they are fortunate not to have been pegged back to 2-2. Mwepu slides a ball through for Leandro Trossard but Alisson races out of his box to just about clear in front of him.

 

15:42
GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 BRIGHTON

41min: Wow – what a goal! Salah scores this and you wouldn’t hear the last of it until next week.

Instead it’s Brighton’s forward Enock Mwepu who with a pass played back back to him nearly 30 yards out, hits a looping first-time effort that perfectly lobs Alisson. Stunning goal to get his side back into it.

 

15:41
Liverpool 2-0 Brighton

38min: Let’s not mess around though, Liverpool are cooking with gas in this first half. Salah again escapes down the right but this time his cross with the outside of the boot is well claimed by Sanchez coming off his line.

 

 

15:39
Liverpool 2-0 Brighton

34min: Nearly total disaster for Brighton. They try to play out from the back, laying the ball back to keeper Robert Sanchez.

His decision to hesitate before trying to clear results in his punt bouncing off Mane and into the net.

It’s VAR to the rescue for the Seagulls though, as the Liverpool forward had guided the ball in with his arm from the ricochet. So it remains 2-0.

 

 

15:36
Sadio Mane doubles the lead for Liverpool with a header

15:33
Liverpool 2-0 Brighton

28min: That’s another chance for Brighton but a cross from the left is rather weakly headed off target by Enock Mwepu. Probably should have done a little better than that. I can’t see Virgil van Dijk and Co offering too many more chances like that.

 

15:25
GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Brighton

24min: Welcome to the game Oxlade-Chamberlain! The midfielder whips in a superb cross swinging away from goal towards the far post, where Sadio Mane does it justice by nodding home.

 

15:21
Liverpool 1-0 Brighton

20min: Concerns for the Reds though. Naby Keita is forced off injured as he is replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

 

15:20
Liverpool 1-0 Brighton

18min: And yet it could be easily be 2-0! Liverpool launch their own central counter attack, with Sadio Mane then Mohamed Salah moving the ball into the box where one-on-one with the keeper, Roberto Firmino poorly lifts his finish over the bar.

 

15:18
Liverpool 1-0 Brighton

15min: Dashed unlucky from Brighton! Yves Bissouma wins the ball on the halfway line before charging through the centre of the park and letting fly with a low 25 yard drive that beats the diving Alisson only to bounce off the face of the post and wide.

 

 

15:13
Jordan Henderson celebrates firing Liverpool in front

 

15:11
Liverpool 1-0 Brighton

7min: That goal has really settled Liverpool. They are knocking the ball around with total confidence right now knowing there is less pressure on them to find the net. Very early days of course.

15:04
GOAL! LIVERPOOL 1-0 Brighton

4min: And Brighton pay for it! Virgil van Dijk plays an incredible diagonal for Mohamed Salah on the right who after jinking into the box lays the ball to the edge of the box for Jordan Henderson to apply an excellent finish.

 

15:04
Liverpool 0-0 Brighton

3min: It’s Liverpool chasing a hat-trick of 5-0 wins but it’s Brighton with the first chance as Solly March forces a good save from Alisson.

Jurgen Klopp calls for Liverpool supporters to show their appreciation for former star Adam Lallana

Jurgen Klopp has called for Liverpool supporters to show their appreciation for former player Adam Lallana when the playmaker returns to Anfield with Brighton.

Lallana, 33, will head back to his old club this afternoon for the Premier League clash, having left Liverpool on good terms at the end of the 2019-20 season.

And Klopp, his ex-coach, is desperate to see Lallana, who remains a firm favourite among the fanbase, treated to a warm reception to recognise his achievements.

Potter hails Salah as ‘out-of-this-world class!’

Brighton boss Graham Potter has branded Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah as ‘out-of-this-world class’ as his Seagulls side prepare to face the Premier League’s in-form star this weekend.

Potter’s team face the daunting task of visiting Anfield on Saturday, with the Reds and Salah both in scintillating form.

Salah’s hat-trick in Liverpool’s 5-0 demolition of Manchester United last weekend saw the Egyptian score for the 10th successive match in all competitions and take his tally for the season to 15 goals.
