Six first-team players could be absent for Liverpool against Brighton, with Arne Slot hinting that he may continue to play two up front. Here’s how Liverpool could line up.

Team news Here are Liverpool’s potential absentees and Slot’s updates: Alexander Isak “got a knock in the first half” against Inter so is a doubt Federico Chiesa is back in training and no longer ill Cody Gakpo and Wataru Endo are going to be out for “weeks“ Conor Bradley is serving a one-match ban Liverpool’s XI vs. Brighton Having played together for just the second time this season at San Siro, Slot could keep Isak and Hugo Ekitike as he looks to build on Tuesday’s win in the Champions League.

Here are Slot’s likely selection options if Isak is fit: Ekitike and Isak start together for just the third time at Liverpool Joe Gomez retains his place at right-back due to Bradley’s suspension Milos Kerkez comes back in at left-back after sitting on the bench in midweek This is how Liverpool would line up: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike, Isak The alternative scenario, in which Isak is absent and Salah returns, could see Slot return to a 4-2-3-1. Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are expected to remain a pair in defence Andy Robertson could retain his place after a solid showing on Tuesday Alisson hopes to keep consecutive clean sheets for the first time since mid-September Here’s how this alternate team would look: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike As ever, Liverpool have the better side on paper but Brighton are actually above Liverpool on goal difference.
