Liverpool line-ups for Brighton as Wataru Endo and right-back decisions made
Liverpool return to Premier League action this afternoon as they make the trip to fellow high flyers Brighton & Hove Albion.
Both sides were in Europa League combat on Thursday. Liverpool made it two wins from two in Group E with a straightforward 2-0 home victory over Union Saint-Gilloise. Brighton, meanwhile, came from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Marseille and pick up their first point in Group B.
Last weekend, both teams tasted defeat. The Seagulls were thrashed 6-1 at Aston Villa while the Reds went down to a controversial 2-1 loss at Tottenham Hotspur.
The results leave Liverpool in fourth on 16 points and Brighton sixth on 15 points going into today's encounter, which kicks-off at 2pm. And here our Reds writers pick their starting XI for the Amex Stadium clash...

Paul Gorst - "I’ve resisted the considerable claims of Trent Alexander-Arnold"
Eight days on and Liverpool are still counting and the cost - both figuratively and literally - from that cruel and controversial defeat at Tottenham.
With Cody Gakpo injured and Diogo Jota suspended, the options are relatively stretched for Jurgen Klopp with regards to his frontline. So expect Darwin Nunez to start down the middle with Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz on the right and left, respectively.
In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch gave the manager some serious thinking to do with his display against Union Saint-Gilloise but I suspect this might be a day for the defensive instincts of Wataru Endo. The Japan captain starts at the base with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai further forward.
