Liverpool lost 2-1 to Brighton in a Premier League match. Danny Welbeck scored both goals for Brighton. The loss reportedly puts Liverpool at risk of dropping in the race for Champions League qualification, as they could be overtaken by Chelsea if Chelsea earns points against Everton later.
Liverpool currently sits in fifth place, which might be enough for Champions League if English teams perform well in European competitions this season. Additionally, Liverpool's top scorer Hugo Ekitiké was injured in the first half after a collision with James Milner, marking the team's third injury setback of the week following injuries to Mohammed Salah and Alisson Becker after a match against Galatasaray. Liverpool has not won in three matches, according to reports.
