The starting lineup for each team is indicated from their last match in this tournament.

Liverpool

The club has lost its lead in the Premier League, falling one point behind Manchester City. This happened after a draw with Arsenal in the last round (2-2), which also ended Liverpool's four-match winning streak in the Premier League. Additionally, for the first time this season, the team conceded more than one goal in a match. Nonetheless, Liverpool's defense remains the best in the Premier League, having conceded only five goals.

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, forwards Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa, as well as midfielder Harvey Elliott will miss the game due to injuries.

• The club has scored first in 10 of their last 12 league encounters.
• In 9 of Liverpool's last 10 Premier League matches, no more than three goals were scored.
• Liverpool has not conceded in the first half in their last six home Premier League games.

Brighton

Fabian Hurzeler's side is unbeaten in the league over the last three matches. In this streak, the team defeated Tottenham (3-2) and Newcastle (1-0), and unexpectedly drew with Wolverhampton (2-2), where Brighton conceded two goals against the underdog towards the end of the match. The club is currently in sixth place, just two points behind the top four.

Defenders Adam Webster and Jan Paul van Hecke, midfielders Matt O'Riley and James Milner, as well as forwards Solly March, Danny Welbeck, and Joao Pedro Jesus will miss the match due to injuries.

• Brighton has only lost once in their last nine Premier League encounters (4 wins and 4 draws).
• Both teams have scored in 6 of Brighton's last 8 Premier League matches.
• The team has not conceded in the second 45 minutes in their last five away league games.

Liverpool vs Brighton: Match Prediction

Since Brighton was promoted to the Premier League in 2017, the upcoming opponents have played each other 14 times within the championship. While Liverpool won both encounters with a large margin in the first season, the Merseysiders have since encountered difficulties. In the last 12 head-to-head Premier League meetings, Liverpool has only beaten their opponent by more than one goal twice. I assume that in this match, the hosts will not win by a large margin.

In the current Premier League season, Fabian Hurzeler's side has only lost once. The club has already drawn with Arsenal at their ground and secured a victory at home against Tottenham. Despite sometimes failing to score against lower-ranked opponents, Brighton manages to net at least one goal in matches against more top-tier rivals. I believe that even if the visitors lose, it will be by no more than one goal.

My prediction – "Brighton with a handicap (+1.5)" with odds of
