Steve: What are Liverpool playing at. It certainly isn't football. Nothing from midfield at all.

David: Every Brighton player stronger, faster and better on the ball than every Liverpool player.

Paul: Liverpool are getting absolutely schooled at the moment. That midfield is totally missing.

Rayan Ait-Nouri has just taken a proper clattering from Matty Cash. It wasn't intentional, but it has left the Wolves defender down and in need of urgent treatment.

I was down there the other week at the training ground and he [De Zerbi] was so confident that Baleba has the potential to be better than Moises Caicedo.

He still has development to do but we have seen early signs of the quality of Baleba.

Chance!

Wolves are that bit quicker to the ball at the moment. They work it wide for a whipped cross that Rayan Ait-Nouri looks to swipe into the far corner but sends past the far post instead.

It is sloppy but that is from the Brighton midfield and defence going man for man.

They cannot get on the ball. I think Klopp needs to drop the midfield deep and bypass them. Can they get it up and secure it and link the pay up there?

I really like Carlos Baleba.

This is his first start in the Premier League but he looks well at home. He drives forward through the middle of the pitch, with Liverpool chasing. He cuts back on to his left foot but then pulls a shot from the edge of the box wide.

Not bad from Miguel Almiron as he spins his marker on the right before bending a shot from the edge of the area that flies just past the top corner.

Brighton are well on top.

They drive forward again through Simon Adingra, who dinks a ball into the box for Kaoru Mitoma to gather ahead of Alisson but at the cost of losing his feet. Liverpool are able to clear.

Anon: Newcastle look understandably leggy after the effort they put into the PSG game - they aren’t scoring here in a month of Sundays.

Chris: Very lucky Bruno wasn't sent off, not sure how he got away with that.

West Ham attempt to get in behind again with a ball over the top but this time Nick Pope is able to get to it ahead of of Michail Antonio.

Boycie: If Liverpool go on to lose today, will Klopp want the match replayed? Asking for a friend!

Gary: Brighton scored, it’s obviously a conspiracy against Liverpool, call the game off immediately and replay it until Liverpool win.

Brighton almost in again.

A fine pass finds Pascal Gross in space in front of the Liverpool defence. He opts to shoot and his effort is deflected wide.

How do Brighton keep finding them?

Carlos Baleba looks useful, like so many before him in that Albion midfield. He beats one man with a nice step over and drives forward but his ambitious pass to set a team-mate away is cut out.

Javel: I will never understand the strategy of "playing out from the back" when, statistically (I've been counting!), the ball is lost well before it reaches the halfway line or it ends up in a big punt upfield anyway (with 50% chance of retention)!

Bryte: What a goal by Brighton. They caught Liverpool unawares.

Wolves are asking more questions here.

What a classy finish that is from Adingra. There was no pressure on the ball there.

Adingra nicks the ball and he anticipates the pass and then it's about can you finish? he curls it low past Alisson.

What a finish.

Bruno Guimaraes needs to be careful. He's been booked and has since made a couple of risky challenges. A goal down with 10 men would be disastrous for Newcastle at this early stage of the game.

Wolves look very useful going forward.
