The Seagulls go to Liverpool on Saturday sitting in eighth, two places ahead of Liverpool.
Asked about the controversy around Salah, Hurzeler says he'd be happy if the Egyptian started tomorrow.
He explained, "We always want to face the best players, the best teams. We try to go for this challenge, to be honest we don't have any idea how Liverpool have played with which players that will face us, which formation."
Pushed about Salah's row with Liverpool manager Arne Slot and the club's directors, Hurzeler insists the focus must be on themselves.
He went on: "It's about us, focusing on our principles, our style of play. We go there, we know no matter which situation Liverpool is it will be a big challenge so we try to face it and we try to win this game."
We've both been inconsistent
On going to Anfield, Hurzeler admits both teams have struggled at times this season.
He continued: "We have also been up and down this season so I think at the moment there are maybe two clubs in the league who have consistency.
"All the others are fighting against each other, it is quite competitive and Liverpool is part of that.
"Every game there is an opportunity for us to win it and every game we prove this season we can beat other teams."
Ferguson return?
Hurzeler was also asked about Evan Ferguson's loan with Roma.
Before last night's two-goal performance in Roma's Europa League win against Celtic, there was talk of Brighton and Roma discussing an end to the loan in January.
And Hurzeler confirmed this morning: "Evan is a player for us, that is why he will always be an option. At the moment he is on loan but we follow it, we are pleased how he performed yesterday. Of course we all follow it so definitely he might be an option."
