Liverpool predicted lineup vs Brighton featuring Dominik Szoboszlai and Federico Chiesa for the FA Cup match.

Arne Slot and Liverpool are in a unique spot in this FA Cup match vs. Brighton. Players need rest to avoid even more injuries, but they also want to chase as many titles as possible with the Premier League out of reach. That’s why you will see a mix of veteran and younger players. Had Liverpool been playing a lower division side, Slot would probably lean more toward youth.

  • GK: Mamardashvili - The backup keeper has played well, given the chance. Now is the time to give him another
  • RB: Domonik Szoboszlai - Rested after returning from the Red Card, but could also see Calvin Ramsay in this spot
  • CB: Ibrahima Konaté - Will have to be solid once again to help out a depleted back line
  • CB: Virgil Van Dijk (C) - Slot spoke about the captain’s availability for every match, so no rest for VVD
  • LB: Milos Kerkez - Can use speed on the wings. May see plenty of action in the final third if Brighton go to a low block 
  • CM: Alexis Mac Allister - Play has dipped a bit as of late. Needs to find good form
  • CM: Curtis Jones - Should be rested and move to a more natural position with Szoboszlai at Right Back
  • RW: Cody Gakpo - Should be comfortable here as he has spelt Salah many times in the past
  • AM: Federico Chiesa - Always seems to play well. Here is his chance to show he needs more minutes
  • LW: Florian Wirtz - Struggled at times vs Sunderland, but too big a talent for that to last long
  • ST: Rio Ngumoha - The perfect time to get the young striker some minutes
