However, it appears Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool fans alike have been dealt a blow.
Healey has been informed that "several" Brighton players have been partying ahead of today's league match.
"I've got a mate who's a Brighton fan who informs me that several of the Brighton players have been spotted out on the town for the last three nights in a row," he said.
Ex-Chelsea and Derby County midfielder Craig Burley responded: "Well I'd be disappointed if they weren't.

"In the days before we were going for the title at Celtic, we were out for three days and we were going for the title, and won it by the way.
"So I'd wholly anticipate that if they've got nothing to play for on their behalf, they're having a few shandies, strawberry daiquiris.
"They've got a duty to the rest of the league and to Liverpool. Yeah, yeah, sod that."
ESPN commentator Ian Darke also weighed in on the situation: "They were only drinking mineral water though!

"I think less teams are on the beach than they used to be aren't they.
"The league is played to a finish I think now."
