Jurgen Klopp faces an anxious wait to discover the extent of Jordan Henderson's knee injury after Liverpool boosted their hopes of smashing the Premier League points record by beating Brighton.
Mohamed Salah's double and a fine curling strike from captain Henderson earned Wednesday evening's 3-1 south coast success, the Reds' 30th top-flight win of a remarkable campaign.
Klopp's runaway champions require a further nine points from their remaining four fixtures to surpass the 100 points Manchester City accrued two seasons ago.
Albion remain nine points clear of the relegation zone, albeit having played a game more than both 18th-placed Aston Villa and second-bottom Bournemouth.
Seagulls boss Graham Potter, whose side host Manchester City on Saturday, will not toast survival until it is mathematically assured.
"We know that we have to keep fighting for points. We're not celebrating or safe, we're going to keep fighting," he said.
"(We have to) focus on the next match, which is another really difficult game but that's the Premier League."
