Overview
- Arne Slot stated in his pre‑Brighton press conference that Dominik Szoboszlai should be viewed as a midfielder and that he will play centrally whenever possible.
- Slot explained that using Szoboszlai at right-back only happens when alternatives are unavailable or too risky to start, even if a full-back appears on the bench.
- Selection for Brighton factors limited right-back options, with Jeremie Frimpong likely managed and Curtis Jones or Szoboszlai considered, while Calvin Ramsay is not in contention.
- Liverpool’s reshuffles continue with Mo Salah ruled out and Joe Gomez not fit to start for the trip to Brighton.
- Szoboszlai is in strong form after a standout No.10 display and 12th goal in the 4-0 win over Galatasaray, drawing praise from Steven Gerrard and inclusion in UEFA’s Team of the Week.
