22' Shaqiri wins another free-kick on the Liverpool left at the end of a patient move, but Robertson's set-piece is nodded away.
19' Bissouma fouls Shaqiri, but Liverpool's free-kick is easily cleared and Thiago's attempt to return the ball to the box is also picked off.
18' Liverpool briefly appear to have the chance to break, with Robertson racing away in space down the left as Salah looks up with the ball at his feet. For some reason, the forward opts against that obvious pass, though, and soon cedes possession.
16' The offside flag goes up against Gross, who does look to be just the wrong side of the defensive line, but Phillips has to be alert before that call to smash a low centre clear at the near post.
14' Shaqiri cannot react! A cross from the right drops just over Milner's head inside the Brighton box and falls for Shaqiri, yet he is not ready for the ball and it bounces off him from a good position.
12' Brighton are pressing high up the pitch, meaning they have options when they do win the ball. They have not yet been able to pick a way through Liverpool, though.
10' Liverpool are camped on the edge of the Brighton box until Milner threads a pass through to Firmino in the box. Sanchez rushes from his line but is beaten to the ball, only for Firmino, seemingly distracted by the goalkeeper, to miscontrol.
8' Liverpool have not won three in a row in the Premier League since September when a run of five straight victories came to an end.
6' Brighton are also going to get players forward. March has a crossing opportunity from the right but sends the ball straight into Kelleher's arms with plenty of options in the box.
5' This is a bright start from Liverpool. although there is a brief stoppage for Milner, who goes down holding his leg. The veteran midfielder is fit to continue without receiving treatment, however.
3' CHANCE! Salah should do better! A glorious pass from Henderson finds the winger in behind and onside. His first touch is smart enough, but the subsequent hurried finish comfortably clears the crossbar. An early escape for Brighton.
2' Brighton face a big ask today. Liverpool are unbeaten in 12 meetings with the Seagulls in all competitions, a run that stretches back to January 1984.
1' KICK-OFF: Visitors Brighton get us up and running!
Alisson was ruled out with illness today, so Kelleher starts in goal. That is one of only two changes from the win at West Ham as Firmino returns but Sadio Mane remains out. Despite signing two defenders on deadline day, Henderson is again asked to fill in. Davies is on the bench.
