Brighton will be a tough team to beat and Liverpool need all their best players available
Barcola’s fitness boost arrives at a crucial moment as Liverpool prepare to host high-flying Brighton at Anfield.
The Seagulls have proven to be one of the Premier League’s most tactically demanding opponents this season, requiring maximum intensity and speed in wide areas to breach their defensive structure.
They currently sit third in the table with five wins out of seven and just one defeat. Only Arsenal and Manchester City have made a better start than them.
With Jeremie Frimpong sidelined with a muscle injury and Dominik Szoboszlai also struggling with fitness, having Barcola fully available on the flank is paramount for Iraola’s game plan.
The French international’s explosive pace and clinical directness will be vital as the Reds aim to secure three crucial points at home.
