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

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has two suspensions and two fresh injury concerns to factor in for his team selection on Sunday, as the Reds meet Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex in the Premier League.

Neither Stefan Bajcetic (calf) nor Thiago Alcantara (hip) will be back in action just yet, while second-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher required stitches on a knee injury sustained in training and is also sidelined for a few weeks.

In addition, Cody Gakpo succumbed to a knee problem straight after scoring against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, where Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota were also made to take the walk of shame after being sent off.

Even if Kelleher had been fit, Alisson Becker's place in goal would not have been under any threat, while Joel Matip should continue alongside Virgil van Dijk as he seeks to make amends for last weekend's excruciating own goal.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson will line up in the full-back areas as ever, but Klopp must solve a midfield dilemma amid Jones's three-game suspension, which has opened a spot for either Wataru Endo or Ryan Gravenberch to join fellow new boys Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Gravenberch could not complete the full 90 after scoring his first goal for the club against Union SG in the Europa League, but the Dutchman has likely done enough to get the nod for what would be his full Premier League debut.

With Jota out for one domestic game and Gakpo still in the infirmary, the trio of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz - whose incorrectly ruled out goal against Tottenham has dominated this week's headlines - will link up in attack.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
