'He sees his best position as an eight' - Slot explains Szoboszlai role vs Brighton

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai will start in a deeper role than usual in the Premier League clash with Brighton, according to coach Arne Slot.

Szoboszlai will operate as an "8" alongside Ryan Gravenberch in a deeper midfield position, while Harvey Elliott will play further forward.

"He is playing as an eight, with Ryan as a six, with Harvey a bit more forward. I think Dominik sees his best position as an eight."

This tactical adjustment could prove crucial in Liverpool's battle against Brighton, as the Reds look to secure a vital win.

Slot's decision to deploy Szoboszlai in this role suggests a strategic approach to the match.
