Liverpool received a surprise boost ahead of today’s FA Cup fourth round clash against Brighton, with Moises Caicedo on the brink of missing out.
The Ecuador international is currently being targeted by Arsenal and Chelsea for a transfer at the end of January, and the player issued a statement demanding that he be allowed to leave his current club.
Brighton responded by removing Caicedo from their squad for today’s game, which should help Liverpool in their bid to progress to the next round.
Caicedo has been superb for the Gaviotas of late, so his absence will undoubtedly affect Roberto De Zerbi’s team.

Liverpool won the FA Cup last season and would do well to try to retain the trophy as they are currently not doing very well in the Premier League.
Brighton will remain a tough opponent but one imagines that Jurgen Klopp will feel a bit more confident now that Caicedo has been left out of the game today.
