Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion meet in a league game where both need points to close in on the top of the table. Liverpool sit 5th, while Brighton are 3rd and have just thrashed their opponents 5-0 at home in their previous league match. Liverpool, meanwhile, also won their European game by the same scoreline, though their defence still shows cracks. Liverpool have won three in a row, but those have been games where both sides traded blows, and the defence has allowed opponents a fair number of shots on target. Brighton, for their part, are unbeaten in 5 and have been scoring consistently, though their defence also has spells where it leaves gaps for opponents. This game is likely to be open from the start. Liverpool, at home, should dominate possession and push forward against a Brighton side ready to counter every time they get the chance. If the hosts score first and control the tempo, the game is likely to end in a Liverpool win, as the pattern of play and recent form suggest.
