Jürgen Klopp on Williams' first PL start and four changes at Brighton

Neco Williams is set to fill Liverpool’s left-back berth on his first Premier League start against Brighton & Hove Albion tonight.

The 19-year-old has replaced Andy Robertson in one of four changes made by Jürgen Klopp for the fixture at the Amex Stadium.

It’s the first time Williams has been selected to begin a league encounter for the champions, but the manager has no doubt he is ready for the challenge.

Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com’s new Match Centre: “Neco will play left-back. He plays there for Wales, so it is not completely new for him.
