Carabao Cup Round-of-16 set to be underway

Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. will be hosting English Premier League giants Liverpool FC next for the EFL aka Carabao Cup Round-of-16 match. Interestingly, they will be meeting again just after this game for a Premier League face-off.

The hosts are here after a tough fight against Wolves, where they edge past for their fast attack. They beat two big sides Tottenham Hotspurs and Newcastle United in their last two games (before the Wolves draw) and hence will be breathing confidence.

Liverpool have just drawn a game against Arsenal, and have been in superior form compared to any other English side otherwise. The side is also unbeaten in the UEFA Champions League. They beat West Ham United with sheer dominance to claim their spot here.

Kick-Off:

Thursday, 31st October at 1:00 AM IST

Location: Falmer Stadium, Brighton & Hove.

Form

Brighton (in all competitions): D-W-W-L-D

Liverpool (in all competitions): D-W-W-W-W

Players to Watch:

Tariq Lamptey (Brighton)

The 24-year-old right-back has played for over 100 games for Brighton to date but appeared for just ten minutes of the last game in the top tier this season. But owing to a busy schedule, he might actually get a start against Liverpool.

He needs to control the skill-full wingers of Liverpool to earn his spot back. This might be a perfect opportunity for him to prove his worth again.

Darwin Núñez (Liverpool)

The sensational forward hasn’t yet showcased his quality this season, much because he has not been given adequate minutes. The No. 9 needs to net a few in this one and show skills like he did against Arsenal, where he provided an assist too.

Goals are everything the club will demand from the Uruguayan, and this might be his call to stand on equal ranks with Diogo Jota.
