Victory for the away team

Kicking off the double-header, Brighton & Hove Albion and Liverpool will meet in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup at the Amex on Wednesday night, days before their Premier League return.

The Reds got their title defence off to a flying start with a 5-1 win over West Ham United in the third round, while Fabian Hurzeler's side claimed a dramatic 3-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Brighton vs Liverpool squad information

Liverpool's injury situation remains largely unchanged, with Harvey Elliott (foot), Alisson Becker (hamstring) and Diogo Jota (abdomen) expected to remain absent, while Federico Chiesa (fitness) and Conor Bradley (unknown) are both doubts.

Those two players are certainly candidates to start this match, although Slot could still deploy Joe Gomez at right-back in place of Trent Alexander-Arnold if he feels the Real Madrid target needs a rest.

Wataru Endo and Jarell Quansah could also expect rare starts for the visitors, while the fitness of Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo up front could prove useful; Szoboszlai lost out to Curtis Jones for the top attacking midfield spot against Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Brighton fans could hardly believe their luck as Welbeck was fit to play against Wolves, just a week after he was given oxygen and carried off on a stretcher with a back injury in the win over Newcastle United.

Welbeck's presence could be crucial on Wednesday night, with Leeds United loanee Georginio Rutter ruled out of the cup tie and Joao Pedro still absent with an ankle injury, joining Solly March (knee), Yankuba Minteh (muscle), Matt O'Riley (ankle), Adam Webster (thigh) and former Liverpool man James Milner (thigh) in the medical room.

The hosts also have fitness concerns over long-time captain Lewis Dunk, who picked up a calf problem in the warm-up on Saturday, and Jack Hinshelwood, who was absent from the squad with a minor issue.

Latest Brighton vs Liverpool football prediction

On their way to the final trophy of the Jurgen Klopp era, Liverpool taught West Ham a lesson with a thumping 5-1 win in the CARABAO Cup quarter-finals, and Arne Slot's side repeated the feat more than nine months later.

This shows that the historical signs are all on the side of a team that has not lost a match in the CARABAO Cup since December 2022. That resounding victory was the third in a series of eight consecutive victories for the defending champions in all competitions, as Slot broke historical milestones.

However, Liverpool's unbeaten away record under the Dutchman came to an end on Sunday night, although a dramatic 2-2 draw with Arsenal in the Premier League - in which they twice came from behind and equalised - still felt more like a point gained than two dropped.

Failure to beat Arsenal means Liverpool have lost top spot in the Premier League to Manchester City, albeit by just a point. However, domestic action will take a backseat as Liverpool focus on breaking a bizarre run in the CARABAO Cup.

Indeed, the visitors have followed a strange pattern of being eliminated in the fourth round before winning the CARABAO Cup in each of the last four seasons – defeat in this round in 2020-21 and 2022-23 alternating with winning the trophy in 2021-22 and 2023-24. Meanwhile, hosts Brighton were held to an uninspiring 4-0 draw last weekend.

Liverpool fans must have left the Emirates Stadium in a happier mood, while Brighton fans were stunned and Wolves fans were jubilant when Hurzeler's side conceded an injury-time goal in the Premier League match of Matchday 9.

Danny Welbeck and Evan Ferguson's finishes looked set to be enough to give the Seagulls victory over the bottom side, but Rayan Ait-Nouri narrowed the gap and Matheus Cunha scored late on to earn Wolves a valuable point.

That dramatic draw helped Wolves gain some measure of revenge for their narrow defeat to Brighton in the third round of the CARABAO Cup, with Hurzeler guiding the team to a 3-2 win on September 18 to progress to the last 16 for the fourth time in the last five seasons.

However, Brighton need to get over their CARABAO Cup jinx this week, having lost in five successive fourth-round ties, including three successive seasons from 2020-21 to 2022-23, and have not progressed beyond this stage since the quarter-finals in 1978-79.

A good record at the Amex against Liverpool could work in the home side's favour, as they are unbeaten in their last three games here against the Reds - including a 2-1 FA Cup win in January 2023. Liverpool did, however, win 2-1 at Anfield in March 2024 in their most recent meeting.

Manager Slot stressed that Arsenal had an extra day to recover from the Champions League tie before Sunday's draw, and the same will be true on Wednesday when they face Brighton, who have little trouble scoring at home.

Liverpool have become an away specialist under Slot, though, and will likely be on course for a second successive CARABAO Cup title, although Wednesday's victory may not be as convincing as the visiting fans would hope.
