The Seagulls will look to stay to their tactics and be quick as well as efficient with their attacking rhythm to catch the Reds by surprise and compound on their misery in the league.
Liverpool are coming into this game at the back of their thrilling 4-0 thrashing of Galatasaray in the Champions League, but they’re also winless in the last two league games. The Reds will need to keep a sturdy defensive line to keep Brighton at bay and also be at their efficient best in the final third to get a compelling win.
Liverpool have defeated Brighton four times in their last five meetings, including their recent 2025/26 FA Cup clash, and they look to keep that going with a commanding performance at the Amex Stadium.
