Liverpool vs Brighton

Liverpool continue to search for a solution to their crisis as they host Brighton in an English Premier League fixture on Saturday.

Things are looking increasingly difficult for the Reds, who face a Brighton side that can be tricky opponents on their day. Both teams often adopt an open style and could be set to offer up goals here.

Liverpool News

Liverpool are coming off a 1-0 victory at Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s late penalty proving the difference. That result offered some respite for manager Arne Slot, who has come under scrutiny after recent comments by Mohamed Salah.

That result means Liverpool are now on a four-match unbeaten run across all competitions, playing out a 3-3 draw at Leeds United last time out in the Premier League. However, their home form needs some improvement, having failed to win their last three matches at Anfield.

Among the problems for Liverpool is a shaky backline that has failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last 10 home matches. They have also scored in eight of those matches, while seven fixtures on this run have produced over 2.5 goals. Three of their last four matches have also served up over 1.5 second-half goals.

Brighton News

Brighton have also looked off colour lately and are winless in their last two matches. First, they fell 4-3 at home to Aston Villa before playing out a 1-1 draw with West Ham in their previous fixture.

Despite those results, Brighton remain in the top half of the table, just three points off the Champions League places. Fabian Hurzeler's team are also unbeaten in five of their last eight away matches in all competitions.

Brighton have scored in five of their last six matches, with three of the last four offering up over 1.5 goals in the second half. However, they are without a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 matches, while three of the last four fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Liverpool and Brighton have picked up four wins each, with as many draws in the last 12 matches. Both teams won their home clash last season, with the host earning a 2-1 victory in the first meeting while the visitors triumphed 3-2 in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Liverpool v Brighton

It is usually an open contest between Liverpool and Brighton, and with both teams scoring in the last six meetings, a repeat could be considered. All six fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals, which is likely to be the outcome here.

Both teams are usually active after the break, and having produced over 1.5 second-half goals in their last three meetings, a similar pattern is on the cards.
