Liverpool head into today's meeting with Brighton and Hove Albion seeking to go a full league season unbeaten at home for only the second time in the last 30 years.
The feat was last achieved by Rafa Benitez's Reds in 2008-09 - that being just the 10th time in the club's history such a run had been put together.
A point against the Seagulls would also almost certainly be enough for Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool to secure a top-four Premier League finish a place in the Champions League next term.
This will be Liverpool's 1,000th Premier League game in total and 500th at home.
The last time Brighton faced the Reds in the league at Anfield was in 1982, when they lost 3-1.

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is set for a place on the bench after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Brighton could recall top scorer Glenn Murray, who was an unused substitute for the defeat at Manchester City.
Izzy Brown and Steve Sidwell are the only absentees with long-term knee and back injuries respectively.

bbc Salford doctoring statistics yet again.

Interesting line up.
From Brighton perspective, no Bruno, no gross, no Murray, which is a bonus.

Not too sure about Solanke starting, but as long as we dont do anything stupid, it shouldn't be a big deal
I think it’s fine as everyone else we expect to be playing are, so let’s just hope the kid bangs in a brace and secures top 4
looks that way but hey everyone moans about the MF perhaps we're just going to bypass it.
Wooooohooooooo. ...
