90'+7'

That is all for today's live text coverage. Thanks for joining, goodbye!

90'+7'

Klopp will not be a happy man as his side had two goals ruled out for offside - albeit the correct decisions, it must be said - and also lost Milner to a hamstring injury. The reigning champions are a point clear at the top of the Premier League but are expected to drop by the time the rest of this weekend's games are played. Brighton stay in 16th, now six points above the relegation zone.

90'+7'

Liverpool drop two points away at Brighton in a 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium. Jota fired the visitors in front with an hour played after Maupay had missed a first-half penalty, but Brighton equalised through a 93rd-minute Gross penalty after Robertson was deemed to have fouled Welbeck in the box.

90'+7'

FULL-TIME: BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION 1-1 LIVERPOOL

90'+6'

Jahanbakhsh's shot deflects off Phillips and wide of the target. Brighton send the corner into the box, Webster meets it at the near post but cannot direct it on target.

90'+5'

The five minutes are up at the Amex Stadium. We are into added time in added time.

90'+4'

Liverpool have faced two penalties in a Premier League game for the first time since February 2018 v Tottenham.

90'+4'

Five minutes were added on, incidentally, so there is still time for Liverpool to score a winner when you factor in the time added on to that.

90'+3'

GOOOAAALLL!!! BRIGHTON 1-1 LIVERPOOL!! With Maupay off the pitch, it is left to Gross to take the penalty. He takes no risks, blasting the ball right down the middle with Alisson diving to his right. It is all square at the Amex Stadium!

90'+3'

Alisson is cautioned for attempting to delay the taking of the penalty.

90'+2'

PENALTY TO BRIGHTON! Referee Stuart Atwell goes across to the screen to check the incident and points to the penalty spot. What a huge moment this is - a second penalty for Brighton right at the end of the game. The question is, who takes it?

89'

Alisson's goal-kick runs straight through to opposite number Ryan. Brighton get the ball forward but Trossard miscontrols the ball.

87'

Gross' dipping corner is dealt with by Firmino at the front post. Brighton are finally starting to ask some questions of Liverpool's defence.

86'

Veltman's cross from the right is headed clear by Fabinho. Liverpool have a chance to counter but the attack soon fizzles out high up the pitch.

85'

That is now two goals Liverpool have had ruled out for offside, although it must be said that both decisions were ultimately correct. Brighton have a lifeline but time is not on their side to find an equaliser.

82'

White gets some of the ball but his boot catches Jota on the shin and the referee reaches into his pocket.

81'

NEARLY 1-1! March swings in a good cross from the left, Jahanbakhsh misses it and Robertson turns it over the crossbar from close range. I'm not sure how much the Liverpool full-back knew about that!

80'

Brighton have looked incredibly disjointed pretty much ever since Connolly was withdrawn. He was offering a lot in the final third and Albion are struggling to find an out-ball now.

79'

Klopp, having already made all three changes, is a relieved man as Phillips is okay to continue.

78'

Phillips lands awkwardly and is in a bit of pain. It looks as though the Liverpool defender will be able to run it off, but Klopp is watching on anxiously for now.

77'

Liverpool now have a back four of Jones, Phillips, Fabinho and Robertson. Brighton are not really putting that makeshift defensive quartet under any pressure, though, registering just two shots of any sort in the second half.

75'

SAVE! March whips a free-kick around the Liverpool wall but Alisson has no trouble in getting two hands to the ball.

74'

Milner is the latest player to leave the field with an injury. Jones is brought on and may be asked to fill in at right-back.

73'

Oh dear! Milner is the latest player to pull up. Klopp predicted this would happen, and the German may now be forced into another change. Welbeck is also down with a head injury.

71'

Lallana, barely on the field for 10 minutes, has been replaced by Jahanbakhsh. The ex-Liverpool midfielder clearly picked up another injury because he jogged straight down the tunnel.

71'

White heads Milner's corner clear at the front post. Liverpool have had 69 per cent of the ball in the second half.

70'

Firmino's long-ranger ricochets off March for a corner. Brave defending from March, but Ryan would have had it covered.

69'

Brighton are really struggling to get their foot on the ball now. Potter appears to be readying another change with time running out to find a response.

67'

The onus is on Brighton now to get at their opponents and find an equaliser. The visitors are knocking the ball around under little pressure at the moment.

65'

Liverpool forward Salah barely even looked in Klopp's direction when leaving the field, though the Reds boss will have next week's Champions League clash with Ajax in mind.

64'

Salah does not look happy to be taken off, just like Connolly a minute before him. Mane is brought on in attack.

63'

Connolly, who has been Brighton's liveliest player today, is replaced by Lallana. A strange decision from Potter, that!

62'

PENALTY CALL! Fabinho is a lucky boy. Troassard's cross hits Fabinho's arm and the penalty would have been given had the Brighton substitute not drifted offside before the handball incident.

60'

It is another goal involvement for Salah against Brighton. He knocked the ball into Jota's feet 20 yards from goal and his team-mate did the rest with a brilliant finish.

60'

GOOOOAAAALLL!!! BRIGHTON 0-1 LIVERPOOL!! This is brilliant from in-form Jota! He takes a few touches to set himself, dummies a shot and then picks out the bottom-left corner, placing the ball just out of Ryan's reach.

59'

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in eight goals in his six previous Premier League appearances against Brighton and Hove Albion, scoring five and assisting three. The Egypt international has already had a goal ruled out for offside today.

57'

Brighton work the ball well, spreading it from the right to left, but March hammers a cross high and wide from the edge of the box.

56'

Jones and Mane have been sent to warm up by Klopp. Lallana also looks as though he will be entering the fray at some point. The game is going through another one of its quiet spells.

54'

SAVE! Welbeck nips in front of Henderson to steal possession, takes it past Fabinho, then away from Henderson for a second time, but his shot is straight at Alisson. Still, that was good play from the former Arsenal man.

52'

Minamino goes through Connolly and does not get any of the ball. The referee gives the Liverpool attacker a talking to but does not reach into his pocket.

51'

The ball is slipped into the feet of Jota in a left-sided position inside the box. He looks to pick out a team-mate with his pass but the ball goes right the way through the box.

49'

It has been a quiet start to the second half. Liverpool are playing a lot higher up the pitch compared to the first half, forcing Brighton right back.

45'+2'

Klopp will not be at all pleased with his side's first-half display, even if Liverpool have seen more of the ball (64 per cent) and had more shots on target than Brighton (one). Henderson and Mane are possible options to come on for the second half.

45'+2'

Brighton and Liverpool go into half-time level at 0-0. Maupay missed the target from a 20th-minute penalty after Williams brought down Connolly, who had earlier missed from a one-on-one, while Salah had a goal ruled out for a marginal offside 11 minutes before half-time.

47'

Milner has shifted to right-back, where we know he can do a job, and Henderson will slot in alongside Wijnaldum.

45'+2'

HALF-TIME: BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION 0-0 LIVERPOOL

46'

RESTART! Brighton get us back under way at the Amex Stadium. Will the half-time change make any difference for Liverpool?

46'

Klopp had withdrawn young right-back Williams, who gave away the first-half penalty, with skipper Henderson on in his place.

45'+1'

Veltman catches Firmino on the boot, winning none of the ball, and is the first player to be shown a yellow card.

45'

Brighton midfielder Bissouma is okay to continue playing. Only two minutes have been added on at the end of the first half.

44'

Bissouma has sustained a hip injury and is being looked at by the Brighton physio. The referee is likely to add on a good three or four minutes at the end of the half because of the stoppages.

43'

SAVE! Jota cannot quite bring the ball under control in the box to get a shot away. It does drop to Minamino to strike from further out but his shot is easily handled by Ryan.

42'

The game has gone a little quiet over the last few minutes. It has been an entertaining match so far and it will be all to play for in the second period.

41'

Neal Maupay is the first player to start a Premier League game, miss a penalty, and be subbed off before half-time since Arsenal great Dennis Bergkamp against Derby County in April 1998.

39'

Welbeck muscles his way past a few Liverpool players but drags a shot wide from a tight angle at the end of the run. He should never have been allowed to get as far as he did.

38'

A penalty miss and a goal ruled out for offside - it has been a lively first half in this first Premier League match of the day. Liverpool are definitely growing more and more into the contest.

36'

GOAL DISALLOWED! It does not get much tighter than this. Salah's toe was in an offside position and the goal has been chalked off. It remains 0-0 at the Amex Stadium.

33'

WIDE! Trossard has made a good impression since replacing Maupay. Williams loses possession, Trossard brings the ball inside and whips a shot just wide of the far post. Alisson had it covered, though.

32'

It looks as though Liverpool are going with a 4-3-3 now, with Salah and Jota either side of Firmino. The visitors are not sharp enough in the final third at the moment, making life very easy for Brighton's back five.

30'

Liverpool have seen 64 per cent of the ball but Brighton have undoubtedly had the better chances, not least missing from the penalty spot. Salah makes a good run in behind but the ball to him is not good enough.

28'

Liverpool have lost their way since making a strong start to the match. Klopp does not look at all happy down on the touchline.

27'

Connolly is causing Liverpool's defence all sorts of problems. He brings the ball down in the box and his shot is blocked by Robertson. VAR checks for handball but Robertson had his arm by his side.

25'

Brighton bring on Trossard, who has himself spent some time on the sidelines, for the injured Maupay.

24'

Three minutes after missing from the penalty spot, Maupay has left the field with a hamstring injury. Brighton are playing with 10 men for the time being as Trossard gets ready to come on.

22'

Maupay is in a bit of pain and has hobbles to the sidelines. It looks like a hamstring problem, which will surely bring an early end to his game.

20'

PENALTY TO BRIGHTON! Bissouma flicks the ball into the path of the lively Connolly. Williams tries to get a foot to it but instead takes out his opponent inside the box and referee Stuart Atwell has an easy call to make.

19'

Veltman's cross from the right is cut out by Robertson. Gross then tries to take on the Liverpool left-back but the best he can manage is a corner.

18'

Alisson is making his 100th appearance for Liverpool in all competitions, becoming the fifth Brazilian to reach that mark for the club after Fabio Aurelio, Lucas Leiva, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.

16'

Jota knocks the ball past White and would have been away had the Brighton defender not stuck an arm across his opponent's body. The referee decides against reaching into his pocket.

14'

Brighton are starting to settle down now. Gross plays a nice ball forward towards Connolly but Alisson races well off his line to intercept. Klopp is unhappy with his side's defensive line.

12'

Liverpool were badly caught out at the back for that Connolly chance, which the Brighton attacker really should have been burying. That is a massive let off for the visitors.

11'

HUGE CHANCE! Connolly is played clean through on goal by a simple Maupay pass. He opens up his body and bends the shot wide of the target with just Alisson to beat.

9'

The visitors have had 78 per cent of the ball in what has been a pretty dominant start to the match. Brighton are not exactly set out defensively, it is just a case of them not being able to get the ball forward.

7'

Veltman has sustained a knock - that is a worrying sign for Graham Potter, who is already without Lamptey at right wing-back.

6'

Liverpool have made a positive start to the match as Jota sends a deflected shot spinning wide. Brighton's players have had 12 touches of the ball between them with six minutes played.

4'

WIDE! Salah makes a brilliant run behind Webster. He takes a touch to control the ball and then takes on the shot early, slicing the ball wide of the target. Brighton have been exposed twice already.

3'

Jota is played in down the left-hand side with a simple ball in behind Veltman. Salah tries to get in front of his man towards the back post but the cross is intercepted before he can meet it.

1'

KICK-OFF! After a minute's applause in memory of Argentina and Napoli great Diego Maradona, who died this week at the age of 60, Liverpool get us up and running.

-

Both sets of players have made their way onto the pitch at the Amex Stadium and kick-off is now just a few moments away.

-

Liverpool have won each of their last nine meetings with Brighton and Hove Albion in all competitions, netting 27 goals in the process and conceding just seven.

-

Minamino makes his first Premier League start of the season for Liverpool in one of six changes made by Klopp. Phillips, Fabinho and Robertson are brought into a makeshift back four, while Jota and Firmino are restored in attack as Klopp seemingly goes with a 4-2-3-1. Joel Matip misses out and Henderson is only fit enough for a place on the bench.

-

Brighton show two changes from their win at Villa Park, with Tariq Lamptey missing out through suspension and former Liverpool midfielder Lallana dropping to the bench. Veltman takes over at right wing-back, while Connolly slots into attacking midfield, just off Maupay and Welbeck, the latter of whom scored his first goal for the club last week.

-

Subs: Sadio Mane, Divock Origi, Adrian, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Rhys Williams, Jordan Henderson, Curtis Jones.

-

LIVERPOOL XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Neco Williams, Nat Phillips, Fabinho, Andy Robertson; James Milner, Georginio Wijnaldum; Takumi Minamino, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota; Mohamed Salah.

-

Subs: Jason Steele, Steven Alzate, Jayson Molumby, Dan Burn, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Adam Lallana, Leandro Trossard.

-

BRIGHTON XI (3-4-1-2): Mat Ryan; Ben White, Lewis Dunk (c), Adam Webster; Joel Veltman, Yves Bissouma, Pascal Gross, Solly March; Aaron Connolly; Danny Welbeck, Neal Maupay.

-

Liverpool have regained their title-winning form of last season since suffering a shock 7-2 loss to Aston Villa in early October, going five games without defeat since then. Jurgen Klopp's men beat Leicester City 3-0 last time out in the league, though they did fall to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Atalanta in the Champions League on Wednesday.

-

Brighton ended a six-game winless run with a 2-1 victory away to Aston Villa last weekend and enter this game 16th, five points off the relegation zone. Albion are today seeking a first top-flight home victory against Liverpool for the first time ever at the eighth attempt.
