Slot on Jota, team fitness and Endo deserving minutes

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Carabao Cup game against Brighton (kick-off 19:30 GMT). Diogo Jota and Harvey Elliott are not expected to return until after the November international break. Conor Bradley is training with the team so could be part of the squad on Wednesday but Alisson and Federico Chiesa remain sidelined.
