Liverpool is preparing from AXA Training Centre to return to action in this new Premier League weekend. The team will face Brighton on Sunday and fan expectations are high. Despite The Seagulls' good start to the season, the team was thrashed by Aston Villa, which opens the door for the Anfield team to get a good result away from home.

On the other hand, the German coach needs to correctly define his starting lineup for the upcoming match at the Falmer Stadium, this due to a small imbalance in his UEFA Europa League lineup against Union Saint-Gilloise. Despite the home win, the team did not look comfortable with Jurgen Klopp's rotations. Even, according to local media, the changes at halftime were already defined no matter what.

In turn, the good performance of Ryan Gravenberch left the door open for the Dutchman to start against the team led by Roberto de Zerbi. For many fans, Gravenberch was Liverpool's standout player in the midweek encounter. For this reason, fans wants to see Gravenberch jumping onto the pitch from the first minutes. We will have to wait for Jurgen's decision.

The defensive tasks are what Klopp was looking for this summer. Even former Brighton players like Moises Caicedo met these characteristics. It should be noted that although at Anfield they had practically closed the signing of Caicedo, he decided to sign with Chelsea, thus rejecting the Merseyside team. However, in recent days, a teammate of his has been on the team's radar and even the interest was confirmed by his own agent.

Who is it?

According to national and international media, Liverpool is interested in signing Piero Hincapie, Moises Caicedo's teammate in the Ecuador national team. Klopp's need to strengthen all areas of the pitch is a reality. At the moment, Hincapie is one of the most outstanding players of Bayer Leverkusen. Even Liverpool FC News stated that the signing of the Ecuadorian could be above £50m. At the moment, nothing has been confirmed
