Liverpool v Brighton

Liverpool vs Brighton Preview

Liverpool may not have extended their winning streak to five games in the Premier League last weekend but nevertheless, The Reds earned what could prove to be a valuable point by way of a 2-2 draw away from home at Arsenal, while Brighton were also involved in a 2-2 draw last weekend in the English top flight as The Seagulls had to share the spoils against Wolves.

That point means Liverpool have dropped down to second place in the Premier League table and a point behind the new league leaders, Manchester City, but Arne Slot's side stand a decent chance of grabbing all three points on Saturday afternoon when they entertain Brighton at Anfield.

Liverpool had previously captured four wins on the trot in the domestic top flight which came in the form of victories over the likes of Bournemouth, Wolves, Crystal Palace and Chelsea respectively, as well as recording a 3-2 win away from home at Brighton in their midweek League Cup clash.

The bigger picture shows Liverpool have been dealt just the single loss within their previous 13 matches in the Premier League which was a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest but The Reds have lost just twice in their last 35 home games in the English top flight, picking up 27 wins and keeping a total of 14 clean sheets.

Brighton extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to three games last weekend when the south coast club earned a point in a 2-2 draw at home with Wolves which followed back-to-back wins picked up against Tottenham and Newcastle United.

However, Brighton now have to face Liverpool a second time in the space of three days on Saturday afternoon up on merseyside after being beaten 3-2 at home by Arne Slot's side in the League Cup on Wednesday night.

The Seagulls have found league wins hard to come by as well in recent times as Fabian Hürzeler's side have managed to collect just five wins from their last 19 games in the Premier League, three of which have been achieved on home soil at their AMEX Stadium, but results away from home have been fairly poor by comparison.

Having picked up just three wins in their last 17 outings on the road in the Premier League whilst also slipping to eight defeats in the process, Brighton look to have their work cut out as they prepare for this long trip up north on Saturday afternoon.

Liverpool v Brighton Verdict

Liverpool have won the last two meetings on the trot against Brighton and The Reds' defensive unit looks a little tighter under the guidance of new coach Arne Slot, so the prospects of just Liverpool scoring look pretty decent.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 2.25
