Liverpool are finally back after 17 days and Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to his starting line-up since the last time.
The Reds host Brighton this afternoon in their first game since September 13, with two games postponed and an international break between then and now.
Klopp hopes his team will be buoyed by the late 2-1 win over Ajax as they face an unknown entity in Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton.
Liverpool have stability and renewed strength in their arsenal at Anfield, with Alisson seeking consecutive clean sheets in the league after a productive spell with Brazil.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has the chance to prove Gareth Southgate wrong, again, at right-back, with Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Kostas Tsimikas making up the rest of the defence.
Fabinho will patrol the midfield as the No. 6, supporting the more advanced pairing of Jordan Henderson and Thiago.
Klopp’s attack enjoyed varying degrees of success and playing time during the international break, with the manager opting for Mo Salah, Fabio Carvalho and Roberto Firmino as his starting trio.
Liverpool: Alison; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago; Salah, Carvalho, Firmino
Substitutes: Adrián, Gómez, Milner, Elliott, Jota, DÃaz, Núñez, Arthur, Phillips
