Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion- Premier League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups
By Ben Gray
Brighton & Hove Albion have lost only one of their last four visits to Anfield, so can the Seagulls upset the Liverpool faithful again?
Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion Preview
After these two clubs served-up a five-goal thriller in the Carabao Cup as recently as Wednesday, is another high-scoring encounter on the cards? In mid-week, Liverpool prevailed 3-2 in Sussex, all the goals coming during a frenetic second half, with Cody Gakpo bagging a brace, while Luis Díaz was also on target. Late goals from Simon Adingra and Tariq Lamptey were ultimately in vain.
This saw Arne Slot's side through to the quarter-finals, where they'll be strong favourites against Southampton, continuing his near-perfect start to life as Liverpool manager. The Reds currently have maximum points in the Champions League while, in the Premier League, they sit second, dropping points for only the second time this season during a 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday; Virgil van Dijk and then Mohamed Salah both bagging equalisers in North London. Thus, most make Liverpool favourites to claim yet another victory here.
Brighton & Hove Albion though kick off on Merseyside up in sixth place, seeking to avenge their mid-week League Cup defeat. Fabian Hürzeler's team have still only lost once in the league so far, enjoying memorable victories over Tottenham and Newcastle in October, although the month was not quite perfect, throwing away a 2-0 lead at home to Wolves a week ago, conceding in both the 88th and then 92nd minutes. With Man City visiting the Amex next Saturday, these two games will provide a serious litmus test to see just how strong the Seagulls are, so can they pull off a major upset at Anfield?

Liverpool Team News
Arne Slot made eight changes in mid-week, with only Andy Robertson, Curtis Jones and Luis Díaz starting both against Arsenal and in Sussex. In goal, with Alisson still sidelined, Caoimhín Kelleher will deputise here, but there was a full-debut for Vítězslav Jaroš on Wednesday. Meantime, in the continued absence of Diogo Jota, Darwin Núñez is likely to spearhead the attack.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Brighton & Hove Albion: (4-3-3): Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Núñez, Luis Díaz.
Liverpool Player to Watch vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Mohamed Salah bagged his eighth goal of the season at Arsenal last Sunday, now seeking to add to his tally of nine goals in his last 14 league outings against Brighton.
Brighton & Hove Albion Team News
Meantime, Fabian Hürzeler also made eight changes in the EFL Cup, but has been rotating his team throughout the campaign, making his XI here tough to predict. For starters, we know that captain Lewis Dunk, Matt O'Riley, Yankuba Minteh, James Milner, Solly March and João Pedro are all sidelined. Ferdi Kadıoğlu, a left-back by trade, was deployed in a more advanced, wide-midfield role last weekend, so could do something similar here. Evan Ferguson's goal against Wolves was his first for 336 days, so will this give him renewed confidence?
Brighton & Hove Albion predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Veltman, Igor, van Hecke, Estupiñán; Kadıoğlu, Baleba, Rutter, Ayari, Mitoma; Welbeck.
Brighton & Hove Albion Players to Watch vs Liverpool
Danny Welbeck is enjoyed quite the Indian summer right now, bagging his sixth goal of the season last weekend, on target in three successive Premier League games for only the third time, previously doing so in November 2010 and January 2014. So now, can he net in four consecutive league appearances for the first time ever?
Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction
As was the case on Wednesday, these two teams are likely to produce a high-scoring clash. Also as was the case in the EFL Cup, we're backing Liverpool to prevail: Liverpool 3-1 Brighton & Hove Albion.
