Liverpool will be looking to secure their place in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup when they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion for their Round of 16 clash on Wednesday evening.
The 10-time winners have made an impressive start to life under Arne Slot and are second in the Premier League after picking up 22 points from their opening nine league games.
The EFL Cup represents a great opportunity for Slot to win some silverware in his first season at the club and he will be looking to move to within two ties of a Wembley final.
Fabian Hurzeler has also made a good start to life on the south coast and Brighton are aiming to reach the last eight of the competition for only the second time in their history.
Brighton v Liverpool will be broadcast live on the Sky Sports+ channel.
A Brighton v Liverpool live stream will also be available on the Sky Sports app. Subscription fees may apply for Brighton v Liverpool live streaming.
Brighton v Liverpool will be played at the American Express Stadium in Brighton and kick-off is at 19:30 GMT on Wednesday 30th October 2024.
Liverpool have only won one of their last five matches against Brighton, which came courtesy of a 2-1 Premier League win at Anfield in March.
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the last five meetings between the two sides.
Both teams have scored in five of the last seven encounters between Brighton and Liverpool.
