Current Form: Liverpool Look to Continue Winning Run Against Brighton
Liverpool’s Season
The Reds have been in formidable form, collecting seven victories from their opening nine matches. Their offensive capabilities were highlighted in their 3-0 victory over Manchester United, their most impressive result of the season so far. Defensively, they’ve been equally impressive, maintaining five clean sheets — more than half their matches. Their only setback came in a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, their sole blank in front of goal this season.
Brighton’s Season
The Seagulls have proven themselves difficult to beat under Fabian Hürzeler, sitting sixth with just a single defeat to their name. However, their tendency to share the spoils — four draws from nine matches — has somewhat tempered their progress. Their most convincing display came in a 3-0 victory at Everton, though the 4-2 defeat against Chelsea exposed defensive frailties that Liverpool will be keen to exploit.
The Match-Up
The match could well be decided by Liverpool’s improved defensive record this season against Brighton’s consistent ability to find the net in this fixture. The Seagulls have scored in each of their last five matches against Liverpool, but face a Liverpool side that has kept clean sheets in over half of their league games this season.
Their EFL Cup encounter on Wednesday, ending in a 3-2 victory for Liverpool, suggests another close contest could be on the cards, with Liverpool’s home advantage potentially proving decisive at Anfield.
