Liverpool have returned to full strength up front for Saturday’s trip to Brighton.

Klopp was criticised by some for his heavy rotation in Monday’s FA Cup defeat to Wolves.

There are just two changes from that game, with Fabinho replacing the injured Dejan Lovren and Xherdan Shaqiri coming in for James Milner.
