Liverpool will look to make it two wins against Brighton this week and stay in the Premier League title race when they host the Seagulls at Anfield on Saturday (11 a.m. ET).

WATCH LIVERPOOL vs BRIGHTON LIVE

The Reds won on the south coast on Wednesday as Cody Gakpo scored a brace and Luis Diaz scored the winner to reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup, sending Arne Slot's side to the coast again in the week of December 16, to face Southampton. Last weekend 2-2 draw against Arsenal means they are no longer top of the PL table, but Liverpool will be quite happy to have taken seven points from their three toughest games (Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United) in Slot's first nine games. A win against Brighton would make the Dutchman the first Liverpool manager to win eight of his first ten top-flight games in charge of the club. Liverpool also face Manchester City and Aston Villa in their next three league games. At this point we should have a good idea of ​​whether or not they are full-season title contenders.

Saturday represents a chance for a completely fresh start for Brighton and first-year teammate Fabian Hurzler, who last weekend saw his side take a 2-0 lead against Wolves after 85 minutes before falling midway through Eliminated in the cup this week. After conceding just two goals in four games at the start of the season and going unbeaten (W2-D2-0L), the Seagulls have conceded multiple goals in four of their last five games and have only reached the 25-minute mark once before a conceded a goal. On the other hand, Brighton also scored several goals in each of these four games. It's safe to say that Hurzler is still trying to find the right balance between two extremes.

Live score Liverpool vs Brighton: 1-2

Ferdi Kagioglu 15', Cody Gakpo 70', Mohamed Salah 72'

Live Updates Liverpool vs Brighton – By Nick Mendola

Goal from Mohamed Salah! Liverpool – Brighton 2-1 (72nd minute)

Two goals in three minutes, and that's a rocket from Mohamed Salah that Verbruggen's flying right hand just can't reach.

Salah's seventh goal of the Premier League season and Liverpool lead!

Cody Gakpo goal – Liverpool 1-1 Brighton (70th minute)

It looked like it was a Darwin Nunez header from Cody Gakpo's superb cross, but Nunez didn't get it.

Or if so, and it is changed, then with a single hair of his man bun.

In any case, Liverpool is on par!

Verbruggen denies Salah's breakaway

Mo Salah beats Estupinan to a through ball and nods his way into a close-range battle with Bart Verbruggen.

Salah tries to pass the ball past the goalkeeper, but Verbruggen gets in his way!

The odds remain good as Mac Allister denied this

Both teams are eager to score the next goal as Cody Gakpo provides a terrific chance for Alexis Mac Allister to nod a shot wide.

There's a scuffle at the other end as Trent Alexander-Arnold pushes Pervis Estupinan and then seems to realize he's up against an opponent who's quite eager.

Entertaining but still 1-0 to Brighton in the 56th minute.

Update on Ibrahima Konate's injury

Konate doesn't come on in the second half and Joe Gomez takes his place as the Reds trail at Anfield.

Half time – Liverpool 0-1 Brighton

Brighton could run away with it and there's more trouble as Ibrahima Konate runs off in trainers, using his shirt as a makeshift sling for his right arm.

Brighton's shooting percentage is 7:4, the team had 53% possession in a game in which Arne Slot's team is not in control for the first time, apart from the game against Arsenal.

Liverpool is open!

In the 35th minute the Seagulls collapse again.

Mitoma hits a cross at the back post and Kadioglu appears torn as he throws a good chance over the goal.

1-0 Seagulls, 36'.

Kelleher keeps the score 1-0

Georginio Rutter is played towards the penalty area and has Virgil van Dijk on his shoulder, but has a clear central chance against an attacking Kelleher.

The Irish goalkeeper met Rutter's shot with his left leg, ensuring the Reds trailed by a goal.

Goal from Ferdi Kadioglu! Liverpool – Brighton 0:1 (15th minute)

Kaoru Mitoma's cross is not suitable for any of the three potential Brighton receivers, but Danny Welbeck catches a very small portion of the ball and it bounces to the right side of the penalty area.

Ferdi Kadioglu senses it, and the Turkish youngster hammers a curling ball past a flying Caoimhin Kelleher, past the post and into the goal.

Darwin Nunez comes close

Nunez pushes himself out of midfield into the 18-yard area. He has a small window to pass to Mo Salah, but he goes wide and the Uruguayan's hard shot is parried by the left hand of Bart Verbruggen.

Exactly what you would expect

Two talented, attack- and possession-oriented teams make for a bright start to this game, and the red and blue jersey combination makes for an appealing viewing experience.

0-0, 7'.
