    Liverpool: every chance to break into the top four

    The Merseysiders are embracing a brand of all-out physical pragmatism this season. With 12 points already on the board, Liverpool sit fifth in the standings. The English giants are confidently staking their claim for the title, stringing together wins at the top end of the table. The driving force behind Andoni Iraola’s impressive campaign has been a lethal attacking line: the side are on a three-match winning streak across all competitions. During this run, Liverpool have scored freely and with style-but they’ve also conceded consistently at the other end.

    Their European campaign is also off to a flying start. In the Champions League group stage, the Reds took care of Spanish side Villarreal in front of their home fans. Now, fresh off a hard-fought continental clash, Liverpool return to Premier League action. This Sunday at Anfield, Iraola’s men face a crucial showdown against an in-form Brighton-a fixture that will offer a true test of their credentials as genuine title contenders.

    Brighton: Leading the Pack

    The Seagulls have rightfully earned their reputation as the Premier League’s biggest surprise package, showing remarkable consistency at the very top of the table. After the opening stretch of the campaign, Brighton have collected 16 points and sit firmly inside the top three, holding their own against the league’s established heavyweights. Fabian Hurzeler’s side owe much of their success to a sensational attacking run: they are unbeaten in eight straight matches across all competitions, a streak that includes a stunning 3-0 demolition of Arsenal in London. During this remarkable spell, the south coast club have racked up 23 goals while maintaining impressive defensive discipline, conceding just twice.

    Their European debut has only reinforced Brighton’s sense of dominance. In the opening round of the Conference League group stage, the English side cruised to a 4-0 victory over Lithuania’s Kauno Žalgiris at home. After a challenging away fixture against Czech outfit Jablonec, the Seagulls are quickly shifting focus back to domestic action. On Sunday, Brighton travel to Anfield-a true test of their title credentials and current form.

    Latest news

    Liverpool

    ❌ Hugo Ekitike remains sidelined as he continues his lengthy recovery and will not feature in Saturday’s match. Conor Bradley is also out after sustaining a serious knee injury in January, and he still faces a long road back before he can compete for a spot in the squad. The Reds’ most significant absence is Dominik Szoboszlai.

    ❓ Whether Victor Muñoz will take part in the clash is still unknown at the time of publication.

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    ❌ Evan Ferguson remains sidelined as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury. Several players are expected to return closer to the end of the month as they work their way back to full fitness, including Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh, and Mats Wieffer. Stefanos Tzimas was back in training last week, but his return to action is still on hold with this weekend coming too soon for him.

    ❓ Pascal Struijk’s availability is doubtful at the time of publication.

    Probable Lineups

    📋 Liverpool’s likely starting XI: Becker - Araujo, Van Dijk, Jaсquet, Kerkez - Mac Allister, Gravenberch - Gakpo, Wirtz, Barcola - Isak.

    📋 Brighton’s likely starting XI: Verbruggen - Kadioglu, Vuskovic, Dunk, Boscagli - Chema, Gross - Gomez, De Cuyper, Ayari - Kostoulas.

    ⚽ Goals Prediction

    Neither side is known for sitting back and playing defensively. Both teams are likely to push forward in search of goals, leaving space at the back-a dream scenario for pacey forwards. Given the visitors’ current form and their attacking approach, this fixture shapes up to be a classic high-scoring English encounter. Our prediction: over 2.5 goals, with odds at 1.55*.

    🚩 Corner Kicks Prediction

    The total corners have gone over 9.5 in 10 of Brighton’s last 11 Premier League away fixtures. The Seagulls consistently generate chances down the flanks, which naturally leads to a high number of corners. Liverpool, with their pacey wingers, are sure to put pressure on the opposition at Anfield and rack up corners themselves if the match opens up. The prediction: over 9.5 total corners, odds at 1.64*.

    🟨 Yellow Card Prediction

    The visitors will be under intense pressure from the stands and Liverpool’s relentless attacking line, forcing them into a significant amount of defensive work. The Reds’ rapid wingers are likely to push Brighton’s midfielders and defenders into committing frequent tactical fouls during transitions. As a result, the visitors are more likely to pick up one or two more bookings. Prediction - Brighton to receive more yellow cards at odds of 1.75*.

    🚀 Player Stats Bet

    Alexander Isak is a Swedish striker currently playing for Liverpool. In the previous Premier League round, the Swede secured all three points for his side by netting the decisive goal against Brentford. He remains in the thick of the Golden Boot race, having scored five times in six league appearances. The prediction: Isak to score at 2.25*.

    😱 High-Risk Bet

    If Brighton truly hit their stride at Anfield, they won’t just snatch points-they’ll do it in full attacking fashion. For those chasing big odds, backing the visitors to deliver is the way to go. The high-risk bet here is Brighton to avoid defeat & over 3.5 total goals, priced at 4.3*.

    🎯 Safe Bet

    Based on our expectation that Brighton will put up a strong fight and hold their own in a high-scoring contest, the spotlight shifts towards the visitors. If the Seagulls manage to impose their direct, vertical style and maintain their balance, they could well pull off the biggest upset of the round-and are certainly likely to find the net at least once. The safe bet here is on Brighton to score over 0.5 goals, with odds at 1.25*.

    👀 If the match takes an unexpected turn

    If Liverpool unleash their trademark suffocating counter-press and completely shut down Brighton’s attempts to play out from the back, the game could veer away from your initial prediction. The hosts are likely to ruthlessly punish the visitors for their high defensive line. An alternative bet would be on Liverpool to win, with odds at 2.13*.

    *Odds are approximate and may vary depending on the bookmaker.

    ⭐️ Editor’s Prediction

    Fabian Hürzeler’s bold approach is set to pose a real challenge for the Merseysiders. Brighton will create opportunities on the counter and are ready to punish Liverpool for any lapse in concentration. Expect an open, entertaining contest packed with chances, where the Seagulls’ character and attacking flair could see them secure a draw. Given the visitors’ current form, it’s reasonable to believe Liverpool will find it tough to claim all three points. The main prediction: Brighton avoid defeat. Predicted scoreline: 2-2.
