The last time out, Liverpool FC saw their quadruple hopes dashed, with a loss to arch-rival Manchester United in the FA Cup. And after a fortnight to ponder it, it’s back to the marathon that is the Premier League title race, with a visit from Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Reds have continued rolling, for the most part, despite all their long injury list.

The good news here though is that the injured reserve list looks to get at least a little bit shorter here, and at best, substantially shorter. Jurgen Klopp should have a few more options here as he fills out his 4-3-3 lineup.
It is obvious, to even the most casual observer, this team is rallying around him; helping to obtain as much silverware as possible for him on his way out.
