Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has given his verdict on Mo Salah‘s absence for Liverpool, hoping he plays on Saturday as “we always want to face the best players.” Salah’s involvement in Saturday’s 3pm kickoff depends on the outcome of a conversation between him and Arne Slot on Friday morning. “To be honest we don’t have any idea how Liverpool will play, which players will face us, which formation, so it’s about us, it’s about focusing on our principles, our style of play.

“We go there, we know no matter which situation Liverpool is in it will be a big challenge, so we try to face it and we try to go and win this game.” Hurzeler: Salah’s influence on the Premier League is “massive” If Salah does leave Liverpool in January he will have done so having won the Premier League twice along with the Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Carabao Cup and the Community Shield. “But in the end I think it’s really about their situation; it’s not our situation, it’s not my situation.

“I can’t make any further comment on how they will solve it, how they will deal with it, because it’s not our issue and it’s not something we can influence. “I think there are always expectations on big clubs, and that’s the situation you have to deal with when you are working for big clubs,” Hurzeler said when asked about the pressure Slot is facing.
