Premier League 2025-2026: Liverpool-Brighton, the likely lineups

Liverpool and Brighton face off at 4 p.m. for a match valid for the 16th day of the Premier League. The Reds, refreshed by their victory in the week against Inter Milan at the San Siro, are also looking to relaunch themselves in the league where they have won one game in the last five and have slipped to a bleak 10th position in the standings. The Seagulls are eighth and coming off a home draw with West Ham: a win would bring them closer to the Europe zone.

Isak is Liverpool’s center forward, on the three-quarter are Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Ekitike. Salah is there after the latest controversy with Slot but should start from the bench. In the median MacAllister along with Gravenberch.
