Lallana did not feature in Brighton's last two Premier League games. However, the 33-year-old midfielder will be keen to play against his former employers at the Amex Stadium today. It remains to be seen if Graham Potter intends to bring him on against the Reds.
The former Southampton star started against Klopp's side at Anfield earlier in the season. He even provided an assist as the Seagulls held Liverpool to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League.

Lallana put an end to his six-year association with Jurgen Klopp's side in the summer of 2020. The Englishman left Anfield to join the Reds' Premier League rivals Brighton.
The midfielder scored and assisted 22 goals each during his six-year stint with the Reds. It is worth noting that he also helped the Merseyside-based club win both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
