Loads of Liverpool fans have been giving their verdict on the upcoming clash against Brighton, and plenty are calling for Fabinho to get his first start.

It has become a feature of the way Jürgen Klopp operates at Liverpool, working new signings into the team extremely slowly.

While there are obvious exceptions like Naby Keita, players like Andy Robertson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and now Fabinho have all been forced to wait to cement their place in the side, but fans think this weekend is the perfect chance for the Brazilian.

The Reds welcome Brighton to Anfield, who had the worst away record in the league last season, picking up just 11 points on their travels.

That said, the defensive midfielder in Klopp’s 4-3-3 might not even be that busy on Saturday evening, so it does seem logical to give Fabinho the nod before the tougher matches arrive in September.

Depth in midfield and attack was perhaps the main focus going into the transfer window this summer, and the fact that there is so much competition is definitely a good thing, but fans are desperate to see their new midfield anchor in action.
