Liverpool XI vs Brighton: Confirmed lineup, team news, injury latest for Premier League today…

Liverpool’s lineup against Brighton: Expected team news, injury updates, and lineup predictions for today’s Premier League match.

It is uncertain whether Trent Alexander-Arnold will participate after receiving boos from the Anfield crowd.

Arne Slot faces the decision of whether to include Alexander-Arnold in Liverpool’s second-to-last Premier League game of the season against Brighton this evening.

The England right-back was substituted for Conor Bradley during last weekend’s 2-2 draw at home against Arsenal, following the announcement of his upcoming free transfer, and was met with mixed reactions from fans when he came on as a substitute in the second half.

It is unclear if Alexander-Arnold, who is anticipated to join Real Madrid, will play in Liverpool’s final two league matches against Brighton and Crystal Palace, or if he will be sidelined.

However, Slot expressed his desire to move past the situation on Friday. ‘As you know, I wasn’t here the last few days,’ the Reds manager stated after returning from a brief holiday in Ibiza.

‘Neither was Trent, so today marks our first day back together. It’s early to determine the team’s composition for Monday.

Last week, there was a lot of discussion about [Alexander-Arnold], and we experienced varied reactions from the fans in the stadium. The media has also weighed in.

Now, I believe it’s time to put that behind us and concentrate on celebrating our league victory without being overly distracted by Trent’s circumstances.’

Currently, the only injury concern for Liverpool is Joe Gomez, who is still recovering from hamstring surgery performed in February but has recently increased his training intensity.

More player rotation is likely on Monday night, as Slot has made adjustments in recent weeks with the title already secured.

Liverpool has experienced a minor decline since clinching the championship with five matches remaining, suffering a 3-1 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and relinquishing a 2-0 advantage to draw with Arsenal.

They can no longer surpass 90 points this season, but a victory in their final two matches would bring them to 89 points.

Star player Mohamed Salah is on track to secure the Premier League Golden Boot for the fourth time, currently leading the scoring chart with 28 goals, five ahead of Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, who has 23.

Brighton, managed by Fabian Hurzeler, remains unbeaten in their last three matches, recently achieving a 2-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux.

The predicted Liverpool starting lineup (4-2-3-1) includes: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz.

Injured player: Gomez.

The match is scheduled for 8pm BST on Monday, May 19, 2025, at the Amex Stadium in Brighton, and will be broadcast on Sky Sports.
