Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Liverpool will be able to welcome Roberto Firmino back to the squad for Saturday lunchtime's Premier League trip to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Brazilian attacker returned to full training from his groin problem before the Champions League last-16 second leg defeat to Inter Milan but was not deemed fit enough to participate on Tuesday.

However, Firmino is expected to compete for a spot in the attack this weekend, although the knock that kept Ibrahima Konate out of the 1-0 loss to the Nerazzurri will need assessing.

Jurgen Klopp may be tempted to introduce Kostas Tsimikas into the backline, but the Reds boss ought to stick with an unchanged back four of Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold here.

Fabinho's spot in the middle of the park is seemingly safe, but Curtis Jones will surely drop out for Jordan Henderson, and Klopp could play it safe with the injury-prone Thiago Alcantara and recall Naby Keita.

Mohamed Salah endured another off-night in the Champions League, which could lead Klopp to rest him ahead of next week's trip to Arsenal, but the Egyptian will still expect to keep his place alongside Sadio Mane.

Diogo Jota may make way for the returning Luis Diaz, though, as Firmino takes his place on the bench at the Amex Stadium after a lengthy absence.

The Liverpool boss also revealed some COVID-19 issues in his pre-match press conference, but it is currently unclear which first-team players - if any - are affected.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Keita; Salah, Mane, Diaz
