Brighton and Hove Albion welcome champions Liverpool to the Amex Stadium in the Premier League this evening.

Graham Potter’s side have enjoyed a fruitful restart as the club battles to avoid relegation. Victories against Arsenal and Norwich, as well as a draw against Leicester, have lifted the Seagulls nine points clear of the bottom-three.

Meanwhile, Liverpool recovered from their 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City, that briefly muted Jurgen Klopp’s side’s title celebrations, with a 2-0 victory against Aston Villa last week.

Youngster Curtis Jones came off the bench to score and the promising hoard of academy graduates will be pushing for minutes as they look to meet the minimum number of appearances required to receive a winner’s medal.
