LIVE: Liverpool vs Brighton – Sadio Mane comes in for Diogo Jota

90+1min: Lamptey is booked as four minutes are added on.

88min: Takumi Minamino comes on to replace Curtis Jones and his first act is to crash through a Brighton player to pick up a booking – the first of the game.

85min: More Brighton dark arts or genuine concern? Tariq Lamptey has gone down holding his ankle to take the sting out of the game as he needs treatment. The visitors are still defending strongly here.

81min: Time running out but this is Liverpool at Anfield, you feel there is at least one big chance still to come from the Reds, no matter how brilliant Brighton have been this afternoon.

Roberto Firmino makes way for Diogo Jota.

78min: It’s not just the pretty stuff Brighton have down to a tee either. Taking a corner, they kill a bit of a time by deciding to switch dead ball takers, in a slow casual manner as you might expect. I’ll give that a 8/10 for the dark arts of the game – it gets boos from the home fans anyway.

77min: Warm applause around Anfield as former fsvourite Lallana is replaced by Pascal Gross.

75min: Goodness me, the unthinkable nearly happens! Brighton have the ball in the net to take a 3-2 lead, or so they think, but Trossard was slightly offside before racing on to a pass.

72min: As you expect Liverpool are now totally dominating possession, but Brighton are hanging in there.

66min: In a change that was going to be made before the goal, Brighton send on Tariq Lamptey for Jakub Moder.

65min: This is magnificent! Brighton have totally carved up Liverpool with a superb passing move that ends with Lallana playing Leandro Trossard into the box and slotting home. Brighton have come from 2-0 down to equalise at Anfield!

61min: Not quite the crash, bang wallop stuff from the first half, but Liverpool will be satisfied for now. They have a control of the game, but don’t write Brighton off here. There is a bite to them this afternoon. What a job Graham Potter is doing with this team by the way. They look feareless.

58min: Mohamed Salah wants a penalty after going down under minimal pressure from Marc Cucurella, but referee Mike Dean is not having any of it and waves play on. Good call, I might add. It wasn’t quite a dive but it wasn’t too far short of it.

55min: Back come Liverpool but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sees his effort blocked but after being played in by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

52min: Some nervous fans inside Anfield now. Brighton are playing some impressive stuff as a passing move is worked well towards Leandro Trossard on the edge of the box whose shot is crucially blocked.

50min: But back come Brighton! Adam Lallana races on to a lovely flick inside the Liverpool box but the former Reds midfielder can only fire straight at Alisson.

48min: Liverpool soon have the ball in the net again, Mohamed Salah rolling home after a through ball from Sadio Mane, but he is just offside.

4min: And Brighton pay for it! Virgil van Dijk plays an incredible diagonal for Mohamed Salah on the right who after jinking into the box lays the ball to the edge of the box for Jordan Henderson to apply an excellent finish.

3min: It’s Liverpool chasing a hat-trick of 5-0 wins but it’s Brighton with the first chance as Solly March forces a good save from Alisson.

The players are completing their pre-match preparations with just 10 minutes to go until kick off at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp has called for Liverpool supporters to show their appreciation for former player Adam Lallana when the playmaker returns to Anfield with Brighton.

Lallana, 33, will head back to his old club this afternoon for the Premier League clash, having left Liverpool on good terms at the end of the 2019-20 season.

And Klopp, his ex-coach, is desperate to see Lallana, who remains a firm favourite among the fanbase, treated to a warm reception to recognise his achievements.

Brighton boss Graham Potter has branded Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah as ‘out-of-this-world class’ as his Seagulls side prepare to face the Premier League’s in-form star this weekend.

Potter’s team face the daunting task of visiting Anfield on Saturday, with the Reds and Salah both in scintillating form.

Salah’s hat-trick in Liverpool’s 5-0 demolition of Manchester United last weekend saw the Egyptian score for the 10th successive match in all competitions and take his tally for the season to 15 goals.
