CLEARED OFF THE LINE
Gross' corner falls for Ayari to hit in the middle of the box, but it hits a Liverpool player, maybe even the keeper saves it (sorry, saw it through a crowd of bodies) on the line and the visitors get it away!

HUGE CHANCE FOR HINSHELWOOD
Oh dear, Jack will be gutted with that. Kaoru Mitoma gets past Jones like he doesn't exist. The Japan international finds Hinshelwood in the middle, but he fluffs his first time strike. Liverpool counter and a good challenge from Jan Paul van Hecke denies Chiesa's shot from hitting the target.

Danny Welbeck pokes home, but this could be offside. Hinshelwood plays the ball back across goal, but the striker might be beyond the ball.

TERRIFIC DRIVE FROM KADIOGLU
Kadioglu is found by Minteh - who does terrific work to get the ball in the first place. The Turkey international weighs up his options before going it alone down the middle, having a pop from 20 yards and forcing a decent save from Mamardashvili.

Equaliser for Liverpool and it's cheap from Albion. A ball is punted down field with a load of Liverpool players offside. Dunk flicks it off the back of his head to get it back to Verbruggen, but an onside Kerkez steals in and lifts it over Bart with a smart finish, to make it 1-1.

Albion can't afford to give the Hungarian that sort of space on the edge of the box, as he lets fly from 18 yards, but he smashes it to the back of the North Stand. Given his form in front of goal this season, that's a let off.

THE TEAMS ARE OUT
After a delay to proceedings, we're about to get underway.
A familiar face in the away team, as we've become accustomed to seeing, with Alexis Mac Allister lining up against us today.
FABIAN BEFORE KICK-OFF
Speaking ahead of the game today, Fabian said, "We will stick to our principles and not get distracted by the lows we have had. I am a big believer in this team and the quality of these players.
"These players stepped up against Sunderland. Every player on the pitch knows their role.
"We need to play with intensity. You have to be intense against the top teams. It is a long journey from Liverpool to Brighton and we have to use that advantage.
"I always see a football game as an event and supporters pay a lot of money. I want them to enjoy it."
Jason Steele warms up ahead of today's game. He'll be training with the England squad next week.
FABIAN'S RALLYING CRY
"We should be a club that creates a place where no one wants to come â I think they did it in an impressive way. They didn't only watch the game, they influenced the game. So anyone who is watching this press conference, just be as loud as possible tomorrow, be behind us, create an energy, because I think we can really create something in the Amex stadium.
"We can really create a place that no one wants to go. And this comes back to our intensity, to our performance. But also when I felt the fans against Arsenal. They were on it from the first second, they influence the game by their voice, by their emotion, by their energy.
"That makes me really feel connected to them. It gives me a really great feeling that we are tight, that we are unbreakable, and I am really grateful for that."
15 MINUTE DELAY TO KICK-OFF
This is due to a road traffic accident on the A27.
The team to face Liverpool.
CONFIRMED RETURNERS AND ABSENTEES
Fabian Hurzeler confirmed in his press conference on Friday that Kaoru Mitoma is fit to play against Liverpool after missing last week's 1-0 win against Sunderland.
