Two sides that have been in European action will clash at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, as both Brighton and Liverpool will look to put recent domestic defeats behind them. A victory for either before the international break could be huge for their prospects of finishing in a European spot this term.
Premier League Preview
Liverpool’s strong start to the 2023-24 season came to an end in controversial circumstances last weekend, as they were denied a perfectly legal goal before dropping to a 2-1 defeat in North London against Tottenham. The Reds will be looking to put that result behind them when they return to Premier League action on Sunday.
Liverpool could yet end the weekend at the top of the standings and there will still be confidence around the team after going 17 matches without defeat before a loss against Spurs. In fact, the last time that the Reds lost back-to-back matches in the competition was their last two matches before the start of that winning sequence.
Brighton will have questions to answer this weekend, as they have now lost each of their last two across all competitions. They were way below their best in their most recent league fixture, as they were thumped 6-1 on the road by Aston Villa in the West Midlands. A return to winning ways will be required this weekend.
The Seagulls have won five of their seven matches this term, but their defeat last weekend was the first time that they had allowed six goals since a defeat against West Ham in April 2012. Brighton have been one of the most entertaining sides to watch this term, as their matches have produced 33 goals, which is a league-high at this stage of the campaign.
Brighton vs Liverpool Head to Head
The Seagulls picked up a 3-0 win in their most recent meeting between these sides in January. However, they have never beaten the Reds in back-to-back matches. But, Brighton have lost just once across the last three seasons against Liverpool, winning twice.
Brighton vs Liverpool Prediction
Both of these teams often recover well after suffering defeats, and both will also come into this match after games in the Europa League. Therefore, we could see the most interesting angle on Sunday being the draw, with both teams finding the net on at least one occasion.
