Liverpool return to action in the EFL Cup when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Stadium on Wednesday. Arne Slot’s men are without a win in their last three away games against the Seagulls and will be looking to end this poor run.
Brighton and Hove Albion were left disappointed at the weekend as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Wolverhampton Wanderers after blowing a two-goal lead in the final seven minutes of the game.
Before that, the Seagulls were on a run of two back-to-back wins in the league, seeing off Tottenham 3-2 on October 6, two weeks before claiming a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United.
Brighton, who are currently sixth in the Premier League table, turn their focus to the EFL Cup, where they have brushed aside Crawley Town and Wolves in their first two outings, scoring seven goals and conceding twice.

Liverpool, who are currently second in the Premier League standings, now turn their sights to the EFL Cup, where they cruised through the third round courtesy of a 5-1 victory over West Ham United on September 25.
