Current form of both teams:
The Reds are currently in second place in the Premier League, trailing leaders Manchester City by five points. Despite a recent stumble with a draw and a loss, they remain in good form overall. After a slight dip in form, Liverpool will be eager to bounce back with a convincing win at home. Expect an aggressive approach from the Reds.
The Reds will be without key players like Thiago and Firmino due to injury.
Brighton are exceeding expectations this season, sitting comfortably in eighth place. However, their recent form is inconsistent with a mix of wins, draws, and losses. Brighton is known for their well-drilled defence under manager Roberto De Zerbi. They can frustrate bigger teams, and their organisation could pose a challenge for The Reds attack.
Brighton has a longer injury list including Webster, Lamptey, and March.
Prediction:
Despite the injuries, Liverpool is still the favourite to win at home. Their attacking talent and Anfield advantage should be too much for Brighton to handle. However, Brighton’s defensive resilience and recent form against bigger teams means they could potentially snatch a point.
