Liverpool Lineup vs Brighton OUT; Is Mohamed Salah Playing Today?

It's matchday 16 in the English Premier League 2025/26 season as Liverpool Football Club are going to face off against Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield. Both teams have had slow starts to their respective seasons as they look to move up the table in the European spots.

Liverpool have won just two out of their last ten matches across all competitions and will be looking to return to winning ways after a 3-3 draw against Leeds United last time out. The match saw the rise of another controversy in the form of Mohamed Salah, as the Egyptian launched a vile attack on the manager, Arne Slot, for benching him. He was kept out of the squad against Inter, but it is being heard that Mohamed Salah has been included in the squad for this match.

Brighton & Hove Albion are level on points with Liverpool but are placed higher by two places due to better goal difference. With just two wins in their last five games, Fabian Hurzeler's side will want to put in an improved performance against the reigning champions, who are in a wretched condition as of now.

People might be intrigued about the Liverpool lineup vs Brighton, as this could be Mohamed Salah's last game at Anfield, as he has already hinted about a possible exit in January. Let's find out if the Egyptian finally found a place in the Liverpool F.C. lineup and other details from the Liverpool vs Brighton Lineups.

Let's dive deep into the Liverpool vs Brighton lineups. The Merseyside club are without a lot of players for this fixture due to injuries, including Cody Gakpo, Jeremie Frimpong, Wataru Endo, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley, and Alexander Isak. Mohamed Salah has been included in the squad, but he still doesn't find a place in the Liverpool lineup vs Brighton. Joe Gomez starts at right back once again, while Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike keep their places in the Liverpool Starting XI vs Brighton.

Brighton, too, have a long list of absentees, as the likes of James Milner, Kaoru Mitoma, and Adam Webster, and many more miss out due to respective injuries. Ayari gets the nod in the midfield ahead of Diego Gomez and Jack Hinshelwood and will play alongside Carlos Baleba in the double pivot. Georginio Rutter has retained his place in the starting eleven behind Danny Welbeck after registering his first goal of the season in the previous match with a 91st-minute equalizer against West Ham United.
