What channel is Brighton v Liverpool on? Kick off time and latest team news- 8 July 2020
Liverpool travel to Brighton as they continue their Premier League victory tour
Liverpool's coronation tour continue with a trip to the seaside as Brighton welcome the champions to the south coast this week.
However, it's not all been plain sailing for the Reds since they were confirmed as champions following a humiliating defeat to Man City before struggling to overcome relegation-battling Aston Villa at the weekend.
Liverpool did run out 2-0 winners against Villa, but the goalless scoreline after 70 minutes has raised eyebrows over the champions' focus in their remaining Premier League fixtures.
Watch Brighton v Liverpool with a NOW TV Sky Sports day pass
Brighton have shuffled away from immediate danger, and may have already done enough to secure their status in the top flight for another season, although that may be down to the fact that rivals below them simply haven't turned up in lockdown.
Graham Potter will be keen to stick more points on the board, and will hope his team can provide more resilience here than when they face Manchester United at the AMEX recently.

Brighton v Liverpool team news
Brighton: Aside from absentees Jose Izquierdo and Steven Alzate, Potter has no other fitness concerns.
The Seagulls have adopted several different styles of play in recent weeks as Potter tinkered to find a solid formula, and could pull another trick out of the bag for this encounter.
Liverpool: Joel Matip, James Milner and Dejan Lovren remain sidelined, otherwise Jurgen Klopp has a fresh slate to choose from.
Curtis Jones scored last time out from the bench and may be given more of a chance to impress in the coming weeks, though a place in the starting XI seems unlikely. Roberto Firmino is likely to start, though Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah could be rotated.
Our prediction: Brighton v Liverpool
There's not a lot left to play for in this one. Of course, Liverpool have secured their crown while Brighton aren't under immediate pressure to get anything from this game.
Much depends on Liverpool's approach to the game. They will not want another slow drawn out affair like the Villa game, but will instead want to knock in a couple of early goals to prevent their season from fading away.
Mane could be the difference-maker again for the Reds.
Our prediction: Brighton 0-2 Liverpool
