Liverpool v Brighton

Liverpool vs Brighton Preview

Liverpool were involved in a 1-1 draw at home with Manchester City just before the international break and although The Reds' four-match winning streak was brought to an end, it was nevertheless an encouraging result for Jurgen Klopp's side as they occupy second place and level on points with the league leaders, Arsenal, while Brighton headed into the break on the back of a welcome 1-0 home win against Nottingham Forest at their AMEX Stadium.

Liverpool had previously racked up four wins on the trot in the English top flight by way of victories over Burnley, Brentford, Luton Town and Nottingham Forest as the merseyside club made the most of their opportunity to accumulate important points against the teams sitting below them in the table, and the hosts will be looking to return to winning ways at Anfield when Brighton come to visit.

The bigger picture shows Liverpool have been handed just two defeats throughout this season's campaign which came in the form of losses to the two north London clubs Tottenham and Arsenal, but The Reds have also collected an impressive haul of 19 wins within their total of 28 matches played to date this term.

Results on home soil continue to emphasise Anfield's fortress-like qualities as Liverpool last tasted defeat at home to Leeds United back in October 2022 which spans across some 26 games.

Brighton registered an important 1-0 home win against Nottingham Forest last time out in the Premier League which ensured The Seagulls a top half position of eighth place heading into the international break but the south coast club face a tough assignment up on merseyside on Sunday afternoon.

Overall results have been a bit of a mixed bag for Brighton though as the visitors have managed to capture just four wins out of their last 13 matches in the Premier League which came in the form of victories over Tottenham, Crystal Palace, Sheffield United and the aforementioned Nottingham Forest but they have also been involved in five draws along with being handed four defeats as well.

Three of Brighton's last four wins have been achieved on home soil at their AMEX Stadium where The Seagulls have suffered only the single defeat so far this season, but results away from home continue to be a major headache for manager Roberto de Zerbi as the visitors have collected just one win from their last eight outings on the road.

Within these eight outings, Brighton have been dealt five defeats which does not bode well for this upcoming visit to Anfield to face a dominant looking Liverpool outfit.

Liverpool v Brighton Verdict

Liverpool are priced as odds-on favourites to take the spoils here on Sunday afternoon against a poor-travelling Brighton outfit and the hosts may also win to nil as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 2.25
