We look ahead to this Premier League match at Anfield with our Liverpool vs Brighton prediction and preview. Can the Seagulls continue their impressive form?
Liverpool vs Brighton: The Key Stats
Liverpool may be lower than Brighton in the table, but the Opta supercomputer has given them a 46.8% chance of winning on Sunday. Failure to do so would see Liverpool start the season without a victory in their first four home games of a league campaign for only the fourth time ever. Brighton are one of only eight teams to have scored 23 goals in their opening seven Premier League games of a season, and the first since Manchester City in 2022-23 (23).Liverpool will hope their new-found momentum will help them stop Brighton & Hove Albion in their tracks when they meet in the Premier League on Sunday.
Andoni Iraola’s side bounced back from a 3-0 loss at home to Manchester City after the international break by coming from behind to beat Brentford 2-1 last weekend. The goals from Florian Wirtz has been a target for criticism for a perceived lack of threat, but the Germany international has created the most chances both overall (20) and from open play (18) in the Premier League this season, while he came off the bench to score his first goal of the season on Tuesday.
Isak finally appears to be hitting his stride at Anfield too, having scored five goals in as many Premier League appearances. The Swede lost four of his first five games for Liverpool but they are unbeaten in his past 15 appearances (W9 D6).
Yet Brighton’s recent form means that Liverpool ending their wait for a home victory in the top flight is in no way a given. Fabian Hürzeler’s side have been in stunning form, leading the Premier League scoring charts and winning their past four top-flight fixtures by an aggregate score of 15-0.
That includes a 3-0 win against reigning champions Arsenal and 5-0 victories over Coventry City and rivals Crystal Palace, in which Mats Wieffer could recover from his knee injury in time to feature, while Bradley Barcola and Muñoz, while Jeremie Frimpong and Dominik Szoboszlai remained sidelined along with long-term absentees Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Hugo Ekitiké.
Liverpool vs Brighton Head-to-Head
Brighton are in a rich vein of form and have performed well against Liverpool recently, winning two of their last three Premier League meetings with the Reds – as many as they won in their first 15 encounters with them.
While the Seagulls were 2-1 winners in their most clash at the Amex Stadium in March, Liverpool beat them twice at Anfield last season – triumphing 2-0 in the Premier League in December and 3-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup two months later.
In total, Liverpool have lost just one of their last 13 home games against Brighton in all competitions, winning each of the last four at Anfield.
Liverpool vs Brighton Prediction
Liverpool’s strong recent home form against the Seagulls is likely a contributing factor in the Opta supercomputer’s calculation that they have a 46.8% win probability.
Brighton’s impressive run means they still have a chance of taking something away from Anfield, though. A draw has a 26.4% likelihood, while the chance of Brighton snatching all three points stands at 26.8%.
