Liverpool return to Premier League action following the international break with a game against Brighton.
The game will take place at Anfield on Saturday, October 1.
The Reds are currently 8th in the league table after a slow start to the season, meanwhile, the Seagulls are 4th with 13 points.
Ahead of the game, Paul Merson has stated his prediction on Sportskeeda.
"This is a massive game for Liverpool. They have a Champions League match next week and a Premier League fixture against Arsenal after that - it's such a big week so early in the season. In my opinion, they'll need to win all these three matches.
"The way Liverpool have played over the past three years, a third or fourth-place finish in the Premier League is not a success. If they don't win their next two league matches, they might find themselves out of the title race.
"Liverpool's players have not featured heavily in the international break. Fabinho played only 70 minutes for Brazil, but he has travelled quite a bit. Thiago wasn't picked by Spain for their Nations League fixtures, and he'll be fresh going into this game.
"Jurgen Klopp will persist with Salah and Luis Diaz in his forward line. I think he's got to play Darwin Nunez as well - they paid a massive fee for him and they now have to back him. I'm still going with Liverpool to win this game."
Paul Merson's Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
