Head coach Arne Slot believes Liverpool’s 3-2 Carabao Cup win at Brighton proves his team can function effectively without a recognised striker amid the club’s current injury issues.

With Diego Jota and Federico Chiesa sidelined, midfielders Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai were tasked with supplementing the attacking threat of wide pair Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz at the Amex Stadium as Darwin Nunez was given a rest by beginning on the bench.
