Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion: Team news

Meanwhile, Brighton have defender **Jan Paul van Hecke** available to start after he was substituted in the second half of their midweek defeat at Aston Villa.

**Mats Wieffer**, who has not played since December due to injury, is also fit to return at Anfield.

Seagulls head coach Fabian Hurzeler said on Thursday: “There’s no new injury concerns.

“Mats Wieffer will be back so that’s a positive one. Mats is a big player who has a big impact on our game. He has a big personality as well so we definitely missed him and we are all happy that he’s back now.

“Jan Paul should be OK to start again. **Yasin Ayari** is still missing. He is doing rehab, but he’s getting closer. We expect him to be back soon.”

**Solly March**, **Stefanos Tzimas** and **Adam Webster** are long-term absentees for Brighton.
