Saturday Soccer Action Roundup: Liverpool versus Brighton, The Blues vs The Toffees and More Action

Live Game Information

A pleasant afternoon from London, a place where the sunshine is actually beaming, though by the time we're at the interval, dusk will be falling. Speaking of which, can there be a positive send-off for the Egyptian star? Furthermore, that does not have to be one permanently, of course. He, like many others will be heading to the Africa Cup of Nations, regardless of what transpires. We await the starting lineups from the Merseyside club's encounter with Brighton.

Additional Football News

Reports from Spain, where Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Kylian Mbappe is fit to play on Sunday against Alaves. Mbappe was absent for the European defeat by Manchester City. Alonso stated, "We've got Kylian back, he's ready to play, and tomorrow we'll see and decide on his involvement." Real Madrid are without several sidelined players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga.

On that local derby, one fan commented: "Hi. Bristol Rovers 0 Swindon 3 doesn't tell the half of it. Ten League defeats in a row incoming, which is one club record. Five home losses in a row is another club record... It's not much fun being a Gashead these days." For Swindon, Aaron Drinan has followed Rovers' Kacper Lopata in being shown a red card.
