Liverpool vs Brighton prediction, stats, tips and team news: Will Arne Slot’s side return to winning ways?
Liverpool will be looking to hold on to top spot in the the Premier League season when they host Brighton.
Liverpool 2-0 Brighton (9/1 with Sky Bet)
Liverpool have won 10 of their 11 matches across all competitions so far this season, including six of their last seven. Arne Slot’s side have been in fantastic form, with a single loss and a single draw taking away from an otherwise perfect record. Their sole loss came at home, against Nottingham Forest, but in a game they dominated and, that match aside, Liverpool have looked imperious.
BTTS No (11/8 with Sky Bet)
Liverpool boast the Premier League’s best defensive record so far with just five goals conceded in nine games. Virgil Van Dijk looks back to his best, and his partnership with Ibrahima Konate seems to be strengthening each week leading to five clean sheets in the league so far this season. Whilst things have been a little more disrupted between the sticks, the back four has been extremely settled, leading to some impressive performances.

How both teams go into Liverpool vs Brighton
Liverpool look almost unstoppable under Arne Slot, whose only missteps so far was that shock 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest and their 2-2 draw with Arsenal. That has been washed away by seven consecutive wins across all competitions, with their 2-1 victory over Chelsea last time out arguably their most impressive considering how much the Blues tested them.
Brighton aren’t looking too shabby themselves under a new manager, with Fabian Hürzeler guiding the Seagulls to sixth with just one defeat from nine games. Their 2-2 draw with Wolves last time out means they sit just six points adrift of Liverpool coming into the game.
