Fabian Hurzeler hopes to see you again Joao Pedro And Matt O'Riley to his Brighton team for their visit to Merseyside.

However, the fitness of the captain will be assessed Lewis Dunk And Ferdi Kadiogluwho was substituted at half-time in the midweek encounter.

“We have to see how Lewis is doing,” Hurzeler told reporters. “Matt O'Riley is back in training and will be ready [to be] a potential player in the squad. Joao Pedro will also be back. Some players will be back on the pitch.

“And I think it’s not that bad with Ferdi, so hopefully he’ll be an option for Saturday too.”

On Joao Pedro, who has been sidelined for the last six weeks, the Seagulls head coach added: “We have to see how he comes back from a long injury if he is to be an option. But he’s back in training.”
