Brighton make the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool in the FA Cup fourth round this weekend.
The Seagulls dumped out Manchester United at Old Trafford in the third round and next face another trip north to take on one of the competition’s favourites.
Brighton have reached at least the quarter-finals in four of the last eight seasons and are eying a first-ever major trophy this season.
However, Fabian Hurzeler’s side are in poor form and are winless in five games across all competitions. Their last victory was the 2-1 win at Manchester United in round three last month.
Brighton team news
Yasin Ayari has joined an extensive list of absentees for Brighton with a shoulder issue. The influential midfielder is part of a treatment room that also includes Stefanos Tzimas, Adam Webster, Solly March, all of whom are out with knee injuries.
Hurzeler could freshen up his team, including with the introduction of James Milner. The ex–Liverpool vice-captain equalled the Premier League appearance record as a late substitute in midweek. Though a regular from the bench, the 40-year-old has made just four starts across all competitions so far this season. He won the FA Cup with Liverpool in 2022.
Brighton predicted lineup
Brighton predicted XI: Steele; Veltman, Dunk, Boscagli, De Cuyper; Milner, Gross, Baleba; Minteh, Mitoma; Welbeck.
What time is kick-off?
Liverpool vs Brighton kicks off at Anfield at 8pm GMT on Saturday 14th February 2026.
