Liverpool manager Arne Slot has named his starting line-up for the FA Cup fourth round tie against Brighton & Hove Albion tonight.

The Reds returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Sunderland on the road. Virgil van Dijk bagged the winner.

They will now aim to make the FA Cup fifth round by beating Brighton at home. Ahead of the encounter, Slot has made four notable changes.

Alisson surprisingly continues in goal for the Anfield giants.

In defence, Dominik Szoboszlai returns at right-back after his suspension, while Milos Kerkez has got the nod at left-back. Wataru Endo and Andy Robertson make way. Endo suffered a serious ankle injury last weekend.

Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate continue in central defence.

Ryan Gravenberch has been handed a rest. Alexis Mac Allister will be partnered by Curtis Jones in the heart of the midfield tonight.

In the final third, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo start on the right and left wing while Florian Wirtz continues in the number 10 role.

However, there is a change upfront. Hugo Ekitike drops out with Federico Chiesa handed a rare start as the makeshift striker vs Brighton.

Confirmed Liverpool line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brighton: Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Jones, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Chiesa.
