Fabian Hurzeler has issued a stark warning to Brighton players and fans ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Liverpool. The Brighton manager insists his team must match the Reds' intensity both on and off the pitch to disrupt Liverpool's rhythm. Liverpool's 4-0 Champions League quarter-final win over Galatasaray starkly contrasts their stuttering Premier League form, where they sit fifth after a recent Tottenham draw. Hurzeler, welcoming back Kaoru Mitoma from injury, acknowledged sympathy for Liverpool boss Arne Slot's tough period, praising his style but stressing Brighton's need to create an uncomfortable environment.

Mitoma's return strengthens Brighton's midfield options as they aim to halt Liverpool's Premier League title challenge.
