Harvey Elliott says Liverpool face another tough Premier League challenge when they face Brighton, but he is adamant his side are well prepared for the clash.  

Liverpool head into the campaign as top-flight champions, having secured the title at the end of April, and looking to finish the season strong. Brighton are the first of two crucial games for Liverpool, and Harvey Elliott is aware that this team will pose a great challenge to them.  

Harvey Elliott said: "Brighton is a very strong team and their playing style is very attractive. They try their best in every game and cause a lot of trouble for many opponents. Therefore, this game will definitely not be easy. We need to be fully prepared, go all out, and stay focused to ensure that we complete the task."  

"The season has really flown by! For us, it's a huge success to have won the league so early, which puts us in a somewhat unusual situation. I think we have to find a way to deal with this situation."  

"The most important thing is not to let too much excitement and joy distract us. We have to stay focused and make sure we put our heart and soul into the game and keep trying to achieve more."  

The midfielder added: "We have to stay focused during the game. This game is crucial for us, especially for some players who have had fewer opportunities to play. In addition, it is also a good opportunity to recover and warm up."  

“Summer is coming and we will be participating in more important competitions, so this game can help us improve our physical fitness and enhance the exposure of the game.”  

"I think it's more important for us to prove ourselves and show why we are champions and show that with our performance. Both teams are very strong, one away and one at home. Like I said, we just need to keep giving our all, stay focused, treat it like a normal game and don't show any disrespect."  

"We are hungry to play and to win games and this is a great opportunity for us. Playing football is a wonderful moment and enjoying the game itself is part of the fun."
