Zambia national team captain Enock ‘Computer’ Mwepu has been named on the bench for the Seagulls, Brighton, and Hove Albion who host Liverpool at the Amex Stadium.
In the reverse fixture at Anfield, Mwepu opened his goal account with a goal of the season contender.
The Zambian international has been out of action with a thigh injury for the last two months.
Mwepu has been out since early January when he was replaced by Alexis Mac Allister midway through the half in Brighton’s 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion in a third-round Emirates FA Cup tie.
Lewis Dunk, Joel Veltman are the centre-backs with Marc Cucurella and Tariq Lamptey on either flank.
Starting in the midfield for Albion is Bissouma, Alexis Mac Allister, Leandro Trossard, Solly March and Steven Alzate with Neal Maupay leading the attack.
Meanwhile Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to his Liverpool team.
Luis Diaz, Naby Keita and Jordan Henderson return to the side as Roberto Firmino is left in reserve on the substitutes’ bench.
Firmino returned to training at the start of the week but was absent from the match-day squad for Tuesday’s defeat to Inter in the Champions League.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Keita; Salah, Mane, Diaz.
Subs: Kelleher, Thiago, Milner, Firmino, Gomez, Jones, Jota, Tsimikas, Elliott.
