Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool will beat Brighton this weekend to make it into the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The two teams will face off in an all Premier League clash at Anfield on Saturday, with Arne Slot looking to keep the club's hopes of winning domestic silverware this season alive.

The Premier League title will not be staying at Anfield beyond the summer, while the Reds lost early on in the Carabao Cup, so the FA Cup is the only domestic trophy that Liverpool is still in contention to win.

During the latest Stick to Football podcast, Carragher and Roy Keane gave their predictions for the game.

"Liverpool always beat Brighton at home surely," Keane said, before Carragher responded: "It was 2-0 [to Liverpool against Brighton] in the league [when the two teams met in December]. I feel this might just be a flat game."

Delivering his final score prediction, Keane said: "I think 2-1 Liverpool. I'll give Brighton a goal. Brighton will score, Danny Welbeck will score."

Carragher responded: "I'm going to go 1-0 to Liverpool. They played Wednesday night and now they play Saturday night, it's a quick turnaround."

Meanwhile, Liverpool is waiting to find out more about the extent of the injury that midfielder Wataru Endo sustained during Wednesday's win over Sunderland in the Premier League.

Endo was taken off on a stretcher during the second half, and Arne Slot admitted after the game that he expects the Japan international to be sidelined for some time.

"Yes, it's a serious one," Slot said. "How serious we don't know yet because it still has to be assessed tomorrow, but it doesn't look good.

"I'm not too sure [if it's his ankle]. It's his foot, but if it is his ankle or his foot, that is what we have to assess tomorrow.

The Reds remain without long-term absentees Alexander Isak, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley for the visit of Brighton, while it remains unclear when Jeremie Frimpong – who is nursing an injury for a third time this season – will return.

Dominik Szoboszlai will be available for selection once again after serving a one-game suspension against Sunderland, following his red card in stoppage time of Liverpool's defeat by Manchester City over the weekend.
