Match Facts | Liverpool v Brighton live Stream Online - 19th February 2012
Kenny Dalglish has no fresh injury worries to contend with, as long-term absentee Lucas Leiva remains the only first-team player out. The club have also had to deal with less fixture congestion than other Premier League sides who are competing in Europe and therefore a semi-full strength line-up is likely.
Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Andy Carroll are still yet to start any game together for Liverpool, and that may well continue with some fringe players coming in. Jamie Carragher is in line to make his 210th appearance in a competitive cup-tie for the club - which would be a Liverpool record. Others such as Maxi Rodriguez, Charlie Adam, Martin Kelly and youngster Jack Robinson could all take part in the fixture.
Brighton boss Gus Poyet will have Will Buckley back from the sidelines to start in midfield, after he missed the draw with Millwall, but Vicente Rodriguez will face a late fitness test. Gary Dicker (leg) and Tommy Elphick (Achilles) complete the injury list, with Matt Sparrow also unavailable as he will be serving the last game of his three-match ban picked up against Leicester.
Craig Noone has largely been used as a substitute this season, but the winger - who has supported Liverpool since he was a boy - played well against the Reds in their League Cup clash earlier this season and will be hoping for a chance to impress again on Sunday. The Seagulls have also completed the loan signings of Manchester City duo Adbul Razak and Gai Assulin, who used to play for Barcelona, in time for them to be eligible to feature.
Liverpool v Brighton live Stream:
Liverpool have won the FA Cup seven times, their first coming under Bill Shankly in 1965 and their most recent in a thrilling encounter with West Ham United in 2006.
Dalglish's side have been knocked out the competition by lower league opponents twice at Anfield in the last few seasons - in 2008 to Barnsley and in 2010 to Reading. However, they remain unbeaten at Anfield so far this season.
The hosts' attacking trio of Andy Carroll, Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez have not yet started a match together.
Brighton, currently ninth in the Championship, reached the FA Cup final in 1983 and were close to pulling off an almighty upset against Manchester United, after defeating the Merseyside team at Anfield on the way, but the Red Devils won the cup in a replay.
The Seagulls' boss Gus Poyet (pictured right), a compatriot of Liverpool's Luis Suarez, defended the Reds' forward during his race row with Patrice Evra, claiming: "Luis is not a racist. We use different words and it is a different situation."
