Liverpool, who have already qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals, will resume their Premier League championship defense when they travel to Brighton on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp's team is second in the table, six points behind Manchester City, after winning their past seven league games.
The Seagulls, on the other hand, are in thirteenth position – 30 points behind Liverpool – after four consecutive Premier League defeats.
Brighton had a tremendous first half of the season, losing only four of their first 23 games. They have, however, recently taken a turn for the worst.
They have not only lost their last four Premier League games, but they have also won only one of their previous eight.
In the grand scheme of things, Graham Potter's team have only won three of their last 25 games in all competitions.
The Seagulls are currently closer to the relegation zone than the European places after a string of poor results.
Liverpool, on the other hand, has only lost two of its 27 league games this season, winning 19 and drawing six.
They have not only won each of their last seven Premier League games, but also 13 of their previous 16.
Only Manchester City and Chelsea have a better defensive record than Klopp's men, having conceded only 20 goals this season.
It's also worth noting that Liverpool are the Premier League's leading scorers, with a total of 71 goals.
Despite a 1-0 setback to Inter Milan on Tuesday, the Reds advanced to the final eight of the Champions League with a 2-1 aggregate triumph.
Head-to-head: Believe it or not, Brighton are unbeaten in their last three league games with Liverpool — picking up one win and two draws in that time.
Having saying that, Brighton have only won one of their previous 11 meetings with Liverpool in all competitions.
Brighton centre-back Adam Webster is now on the sidelines due to injury. The Seagulls are also concerned about Jeremy Sarmiento and Enock Mwepu.
Liverpool have no new injury concerns, while the fitness of Roberto Firmino and Ibrahima Konate is in doubt.
