Liverpool are unbeaten in 12 meetings with Brighton in all competitions (W10 D2), since a 0-2 FA Cup defeat in January 1984.
Brighton are looking to keep four consecutive league clean sheets for the very first time in the top-flight, while they last did so at any league level in November 2016 in the Championship.
Liverpool’s Mo Salah has been involved in nine goals in seven Premier League appearances against Brighton (5 goals, 4 assists), averaging a goal or assist every 63 minutes against the Seagulls.

Manchester City are looking to become the first Premier League side since Arsenal in 2002 to win 13 successive games in all competitions when they make the trip to Burnley.
The Citizens have been on an extraordinary run of form over the past couple of months and lead the way at the top of the Premier League. Opponents Burnley recently beat Liverpool at Anfield, but defeat to Chelsea last time out leaves them just two places above the relegation zone.
City made tough work of seeing off bottom side Sheffield United at the weekend, with Gabriel Jesus’s early goal proving enough in a 1-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium.
That victory was the Citizens’ eighth in a row in the top flight and, with Manchester United being held by Arsenal, they are three points clear at the top with a game in hand.
Stopping Pep Guardiola’s men when they are in this form is arguably the most difficult task in football, but Burnley certainly know how to pull off a shock result.
Burnley have won four of their last six home league matches, which is as many as they managed in their previous 16, providing a platform to build on.
Not that City will care all that much about that statistic, having won each of their last seven meetings with the Clarets in all competitions by an aggregate score of 28-1.
That includes 5-0 and 3-0 victories in the Premier League and EFL Cup respectively this season.
City have also won six successive away matches in all competitions heading into this game and could make it seven in a row for the second time in their history.
