Alisson and Sadio Mane out as Liverpool team confirmed

Alisson Becker misses out for Liverpool as they host Brighton at Anfield.

The Brazil goalkeeper is sidelined with what has been described as illness by the club, handing Caoimhin Kelleher the chance to gain further exposure in the Premier League.

Roberto Firmino returns to the starting XI in place of Divock Origi as Jurgen Klopp makes two changes from the side that beat West Ham 3-1 on Sunday.

That means there's no place for Ben Davies following his deadline day arrival from Preston North End with the 25-year-old named as part of the substitutes.

Ozan Kabak, however, will not feature in the match-day squad as they aim to get back to winning ways at Anfield after defeat to Burnley here last month.

What do you think of the Liverpool team for tonight? Let us know in the comments below.

Thiago Alcantara does start though alongside Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner and Gini Wijnaldum with Xherdan Shaqiri also keeping his place.

Liverpool: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Henderson, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Thiago, Milner, Shaqiri, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Adrian, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Tsimikas, Origi, Davies, R. Williams, Cain, N. Williams.
