# Liverpool Predicted XI: Brighton (A)

Liverpool make the journey south to Brighton on Saturday for their second away game on the spin.

After defeating Stoke City 3-0 in midweek, the Reds will be keen to make it two wins from two against Chris Hughton’s men.

Jurgen Klopp has shown a willingness to rotate his squad in recent weeks and will likely do the same again for this fixture.

Here’s the XI that I think he’ll pick for the Brighton game:

### Simon Mignolet

Mignolet is a bit lucky not to be suspended for this game as he should have been sent off at Stoke.

### Trent Alexander-Arnold

With Joe Gomez set to play at centre back, Alexander-Arnold will play at right-back.

### Joe Gomez

With Joel Matip injured and Ragnar Klavan unlikely to be 100% fit after his recent illness, Gomez will be needed at centre back.

### Dejan Lovren

Lovren isn’t 100% either but needs must!

### Alberto Moreno

Jurgen Klopp has shown no real desire to play Andy Robertson so Moreno looks likely to keep his place for this game.

### Jordan Henderson

The captain was given a rest in midweek but I think he starts at Brighton.

### Emre Can

Can was excellent at Stoke and I think he’ll start again here.

### Adam Lallana

Given a rest in midweek, I expect Lallana to be given his first start at Brighton.

### Mohamed Salah

The Premier League’s main man. Got a rest in midweek and still scored twice. Brighton’s defenders will not look forward to facing him.

### Philippe Coutinho

With Lallana back in and with Sadio Mane looking like he felt something at the end of the Stoke game, I think we’ll see Coutinho play in a wide left role.

### Roberto Firmino

Firmino was great against Stoke and having had his rest against Chelsea, he should be fit and firing.
