In lieu of the banned Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott starts for Liverpool against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday at the Amex Stadium in the Premier League.
Elliott has been selected to join Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Stefan Bajcetic in the midfield’s engine room after all of Jones, Stefan Bajcetic, and Thiago Alcantara were ruled out of contention.
Ryan Gravenberch is given the nod over Ibrahima Konate in favor of Joel Matip, despite the fact that he scored his first goal for Liverpool against Union SG in the middle of the week.
Alongside Mohamed Salah up front, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez make their anticipated comebacks, but Cody Gakpo is absent due to a knee injury and Diogo Jota is serving a one-game suspension.
Bart Verbruggen has been recalled in goal over Jason Steele, and Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has made seven changes to the team that drew with Marseille on Thursday.
Tariq Lamptey and James Milner aren’t present, but Igor Julio, Carlos Baleba, and Simon Adingra all get the start. Adam Lallana, a former Liverpool player, is fit enough to sit on the bench.
