Just over two weeks ago, the Reds were beaten 3-0 by Brighton in the Premier League, a feat that will last Jurgen Klopp described after the game as the worst by any team he had managed.
The defending champions edged past Wolves after a third round replay and now face an incredibly difficult task against a confident Brighton side.
Even aside from that victory over Liverpool, Roberto De Zerbi’s side continue to impress, scoring at least twice in all six games since the World Cup.

Brighton vs Liverpool team news
Adam Lallana is a questionable head start on his former side’s visit, while Levi Colwill is sidelined for a long period with a quad injury.
It remains to be seen whether Moises Caicedo is involved with the hosts, with the midfielder reportedly considering submitting a transfer request as he looks to seal a move to Arsenal or Chelsea in January.
Stefan Bajcetic looks set to start for the Reds in midfield just days after signing a new contract with Liverpool, which could also include Thiago and Naby Keita.
The absences of Fabio Carvalho, Roberto Firmino and Virgil van DIijk, to name but a few, limit Klopp’s options when it comes to changing his squad, so it’s likely to be a relatively strong squad for the visitors.
Arsenal have rejected a £60 million bid for Moises Caicedo

Much will depend on the strength of the sides put together by the two managers, but there is a good chance that Brighton will record another memorable win against Liverpool.
The Seagulls are flying at the moment, especially in forward areas, and could cause more problems for Liverpool’s defense even if this game proves tighter than the recent Premier League encounter.
Brighton win 2-1.
