Brighton
Meanwhile, Brighton fans could surely not believe their luck when Welbeck was passed fit to start against Wolves, just one week after he was given oxygen and stretchered off with a back injury in the win over Newcastle United.
Welbeck’s availability could be crucial for Wednesday’s game, as Leeds United loanee Georginio Rutter is cup-tied and Joao Pedro is still out with an ankle concern, joining Solly March (knee), Matt O’Riley (ankle), Adam Webster (thigh) and ex-Liverpool man James Milner (thigh) in the medical room.
Yankuba Minteh and Jack Hinshelwood both have good chances of being available despite missing the Wolves draw, although captain Lewis Dunk – who hurt his calf in the warm-up – is more uncertain.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Steele; Lamptey, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan; Adingra, Baleba, Wieffer, Mitoma; Enciso, Ferguson

The latter two certainly would have been candidates to start this one, although Slot can still deploy Joe Gomez at right-back in place of Trent Alexander-Arnold if he feels that the Real Madrid target is in need of a break.
Wataru Endo and Jarell Quansah should also be able to look forward to rare starts in the visitors’ XI, while Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo’s fresh legs up front could now come in handy too; the former lost out to Curtis Jones for the most advanced midfield spot against Arsenal.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Quansah, Tsimikas; Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-2 Liverpool
