The Story in 60 Seconds

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola faces tactical decisions ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Brighton, following a 4-3 Champions League win over Villarreal. After Ryan Gravenberch's return from a domestic suspension, Iraola must decide whether to deploy him at right-back or in midfield. Tactical adjustments are needed across the pitch as Liverpool navigate a busy run of nine matches in 29 days.

Injuries to full-backs Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley have left options thin on the right side of defence, where Ronald Araujo was substituted at half-time in consecutive games. In attack, Bradley Barcola and Alexander Isak are expected to return after being rested in midweek, while Florian Wirtz could take over the number 10 position from Gravenberch.
