Premier League champion Liverpool has two more games to get through before Virgil van Dijk can lift the trophy at Anfield next weekend. And the first of those is against Brighton on Monday.
Arne Slot was in Ibiza for a few days while the Liverpool players were spotted in Dubai. They returned to training on Friday with three days to prepare for the trip to the south coast.
Here, Liverpool.com has picked out all of the information that you need to know, including the kick-off time, TV details, highlights and early team news. We’ll start with kick-off details for the UK and US.
What time is kick-off?
The match kicks off at 8:00 pm in the UK, which is 12:00 pm Pacific Time and 3:00 pm Eastern Time. It will be played at the Amex Stadium, where Liverpool last played in the Carabao Cup.
In the last-16 of the competition, in which the Reds reached the final but lost to Newcastle United at Wembley, they won 3-2 on the south coast.
Cody Gakpo scored twice and Luis Diaz once on that occasion, which was back in October. It was a crazy and entertaining game and something similar could well unfold here.

Early team news
Liverpool doesn’t have any new injuries, though how ready the players will be to play remains to be seen. There has been a lot of partying and not much training happening this week, with the Reds given a well-earned break.
Joe Gomez is nearing a return, but he might not be back in time to feature as he builds up his fitness again. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was booed last time out against Arsenal, might be involved, but Arne Slot said no decision had been made on Friday.
Federico Chiesa didn’t make the bench last weekend but will hope to be involved here. Likewise, Harvey Elliott will be hoping for another opportunity to impress.
As for Brighton, Kaoru Mitoma is a doubt because of a heel injury. Joel Veltman and Lewis Dunk have both been missing recently, but the defensive pair have been passed fit.
Joao Pedro is suspended, while Solly March and James Milner are both set to be absent through injury. Georginio Rutter is nearing a return from an ankle issue.
