Brighton vs Liverpool Preview and Team News
Brighton Team News
Currently ninth in the Premier League table with 55 points, Brighton are level with eighth-placed Brentford, keeping their hopes for a Europa Conference League spot alive.
A success against the newly crowned champions could be the decisive push they need, especially if Manchester City clinch the FA Cup. This would extend European qualification to the eighth spot.
In their 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton, Brighton demonstrated a disciplined defensive structure, effectively neutralising Wolves’ attacking threats. The team’s pressing intensity disrupted the hosts’ build-up play, and used speed attacking transitions.

In their 3-2 triumph over West Ham, they created numerical advantages in wide areas, leading to goal-scoring opportunities. Despite conceding twice, their attacking fluidity in the final third secured the win.
Brighton’s 4-2 defeat against Brentford exposed their high defensive line as vulnerable to balls played in behind. Their midfield struggled to offer sufficient cover, allowing their rivals to exploit these spaces.
Fabian Hürzeler faces selection challenges. Solomon March, Ferdi Kadioglu, Georginio Rutter, and James Milner are confirmed absentees. Lewis Dunk and Joel Veltman are doubtful. João Pedro will be back after his suspension.

Liverpool Team News
Having already secured their 20th English league title, Liverpool approach Monday’s encounter with less pressure. However, manager Arne Slot will likely maintain high standards to ensure momentum is carried into the final matchday and subsequent title celebrations.
In the match against Chelsea on May 4, Slot made heavy use of the rotation.
In contrast, the May 11 fixture against Arsenal saw Liverpool return to a more familiar lineup, aiming to regain momentum. They started brightly, capitalising on quick transitions and exploiting spaces in Arsenal’s defence to establish a two-goal lead.

However, the second half revealed vulnerabilities, as Arsenal adjusted tactically, pressing higher and disrupting Liverpool’s build-up play. The squad struggled to adapt, allowing Arsenal to level the score.
In transfer news, Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to join Real Madrid upon the expiration of his contract. To fill the impending void at right-back, Liverpool are in advanced negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong. The talent, who has a £29.5 million release clause, is viewed as a dynamic replacement.
Despite being Dutch, he qualifies as a homegrown player due to his formative years at Manchester City’s academy. Slot envisions deploying Frimpong in a more advanced role on the right flank, potentially offsetting Mohamed Salah’s absence during the Africa Cup of Nations.

In midfield, Liverpool have reportedly held a secret meeting with Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, aiming to hijack Manchester City’s pursuit of the German international. Wirtz, valued at £126 million, has also attracted interest from Bayern Munich.
Defensively, Liverpool are targeting Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez to provide competition for Andy Robertson at left-back. While the latter remains the preferred choice, Kerkez’s potential acquisition would add depth to the position.
The team are largely fit, with Joe Gomez being the only notable absentee due to injury. Considering the congested fixture list and the opportunity to assess squad depth, Slot may opt for some rotation, providing opportunities for fringe players and youngsters.

Under Fabian Hürzeler’s guidance, Brighton adopted an aggressive, possession-based approach, often committing numbers forward. While this strategy has yielded goals, it has also left them susceptible to counter-attacks, a weakness that Liverpool’s pacey forwards are well-equipped to exploit.
On the other hand, the guests, having already clinched the Premier League title, might opt for squad rotation, affecting their defensive cohesion. Moreover, their recent matches have seen them concede goals, indicating possible lapses in concentration.
Considering Brighton’s need to secure European qualification and Liverpool’s attacking strength, we can anticipate both teams scoring in this meeting.

Brighton have found their scoring touch, netting multiple times in recent fixtures, including a 3-2 victory over West Ham and a 2-0 win against Wolves.
Their dynamic forward line, featuring Danny Welbeck, has been instrumental in these meetings. Additionally, the potential return of players like Kaoru Mitoma could further bolster their attacking options.

On the other hand, having already secured the Premier League title, Liverpool may lack the same defensive intensity. Their recent 3-1 defeat to Chelsea and a 2-2 draw with Arsenal happened due to issues with organisation at the back.
Moreover, the visiting players were on vacation in the UAE this week. They won’t return until Friday and are unlikely to fully prepare for their upcoming events.
Brighton have a good chance to take advantage of Liverpool’s relaxed state and score more than one goal.
