Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield on Sunday, October 25 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).
Liverpool will be without several key figures at Anfield, with the calf-injured Hugo Ekitike, the knee-injured Giovanni Leoni, the knee-injured Conor Bradley, the suspended Ryan Gravenberch, the thigh-injured Dominik Szoboszlai and the sidelined Jeremie Frimpong all missing. That leaves the attacking responsibility with Alexander Isak, who has scored 5 goals in 494 minutes this season, alongside Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Víctor Muñoz in the final third.
Brighton travel with their own absentees — the ankle-injured Evan Ferguson, the knee-injured Stefanos Tzimas, the thigh-injured Kaoru Mitoma, the thigh-injured Femi Azeez, the ankle-injured Yankuba Minteh and the sidelined Zadok Yohanna all out, while Mats Wieffer and Pascal Struijk are doubts. Charalampos Kostoulas, Maxim De Cuyper and Yasin Ayari carry the attacking threat for the visitors, and expect a cagey, tight contest rather than an end-to-end shootout at Anfield.

Liverpool vs Brighton Prediction
Expect a tense, low-scoring affair at Anfield. Liverpool sit on 12 points from 7 games with a +1 goal difference, a side yet to find real rhythm in front of goal, while Brighton arrive on 16 points from 7 with a +18 difference built on composed, patient performances rather than end-to-end chaos. Neither side figures to open up, and with Liverpool’s forward line light on confirmed options, the game should be decided by one moment of craft rather than a stretch of end-to-end football. We see Brighton edging it 0-1.
