Leon Balogun brace up for Liverpool test

Having made his debut in the team’s 3-2 win over Manchester United on Sunday, Super Eagles defender, Leon Balogun will be hoping to mastermind another blockbuster defending as Brighton face Liverpool at Anfield Stadium, in Saturday’s Premier League clash.

Balogun came on as a substitute in the first half for injured Brighton defender and helped solidify the backline despite Man United countless attack.

The Nigerian international who is expected to be shortlisted for Nigeria’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier against Seychelles, will face a stern challenge from Liverpool’s attacking trio of Sadio Mane, MO Sallah and Firmino.

Brighton knows it would be difficult to leave Anfield with a point except the unusual happens.
