Brighton defender Adam Webster admits the lead-up to facing Liverpool has been "weird".

Since their 5-2 win at home to Leicester City on September 2, Brighton lost their manager Graham Potter to Chelsea, but new coach Roberto De Zerbi has not taken charge of a game due to the passing of the Queen and the international break.

“You always want to play in teams that are in possession, that control the game and I feel like we're going to go to a new level with that. It suits us – [Lewis] Dunky, Joel [Veltman] and I are all comfortable in possession, we love to have the ball and it's music to our ears," Webster told the club's website.

"Hopefully it will help us all improve. I am sure over time he will implement what he wants to, but it's been weird as not everyone has been here because of the international break and we won't have too many sessions all together before the game against Liverpool."
