Match preview

Liverpool dusted themselves off after a painful defeat to Man City by becoming the only Premier League side this season to win at Sunderland's Stadium of Light. They'll be happy to host Brighton, a side they've not lost to in their last 11 meetings at Anfield.

The Seagulls are bang out of form, on a winless run of six matches in the league, including two defeats on the bounce. Perhaps an FA Cup run can distract them from an alarming slide down the EPL table. 

Key stats, injury news

Liverpool’s Wataru Endo was stretched off in the win at Sunderland, joining Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni on the sidelines.

Stefanos Tzimas, Adam Webster, Solly March and Yasin Ayari are all sidelined for Brighton, but Mats Wieffer is available after recovering from a toe issue.

Liverpool have been eliminated from six of their last nine FA Cup fourth-round ties, including against Plymouth Argyle last term.

Mohamed Salah has recorded 10 goals and eight assists in 19 meetings with Brighton. 

Brighton's James Milner equalled Gareth Barry's all-time EPL appearances record in midweek and could start here against his old club.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
