Liverpool continue their FA Cup campaign with a fourth-round clash against Brighton on Saturday evening.
Arne Slot has identified the FA Cup as a key objective this season, amid the Reds’ difficult defence of the Premier League title.

Attention now turns to the FA Cup and the visit of Brighton. The Seagulls are winless in five Premier League games since beating Manchester United in the third round of this competition.
Liverpool team news
Arne Slot’s injury woes deepened in midweek as Wataru Endo was stretchered off at Sunderland. The Japan international was deputising at right-back in the absence of Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, but now faces a significant spell out with a foot problem.
Dominik Szoboszlai does return from suspension and could again be asked to fill in as a makeshift full-back at Anfield. Joe Gomez, who replaced Endo at Sunderland, provides an alternative option. Elsewhere, Alexander Isak and Giovanni Leoni are long-term absentees and still unavailable.
Slot is set to rotate his team with Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa pushing for inclusion.
Liverpool predicted lineup
Liverpool predicted XI: Mamardashvili; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Gakpo; Chiesa.
What time is kick-off?
Liverpool vs Brighton kicks off at Anfield at 8pm GMT on Saturday 14th February 2026.
How to watch Liverpool vs Brighton
The match will be broadcast on Saturday on TNT Sports 1 in the UK.
