Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool Match Analysis & Prediction
14/01/2023 6:00 pm
Looking to leapfrog their revered visitors in the Premier League table, Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Liverpool to the Amex Stadium on Saturday.
While the Seagulls beat Middlesbrough 5-1 to progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup last time out, Liverpool were forced to accept a replay after drawing 2-2 with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Prior to their trip to Middlesbrough, Brighton claimed a 4-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League last Tuesday, remaining within touching distance of the continental spots as they sit eighth in the standings.
Tottenham Hospur, who have played a game more, still hold a six-point lead over Brighton in fifth place, but a victory for Robert De Zerbi’s side at home would be enough to break into the top seven over Liverpool.
Each of Brighton’s last seven Premier League matches have seen both teams score, and their only league win at the Amex since October was that 4-1 victory over Chelsea, but Liverpool are not exactly the force that they once were.
Sixth-placed Liverpool cannot usurp Tottenham no matter what transpired this weekend, and they are now behind Fulham – who have played two games more – by three points.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have also scored and conceded in each of their last six matches across all competitions, but they have claimed just two Premier League wins away from home all season.
Leandro Trossard made the headlines for the right reasons as his hat-trick allowed Brighton to come away from Anfield with a 3-3 draw earlier this season, but Liverpool have not lost in their previous 10 visits to the South Coast side, including a 2-0 victory at the Amex in March.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Liverpool Head to head
In the previous 21 meetings between these two sides, Brighton have claimed two victories while Liverpool have won 13, and they have drawn in six. Liverpool have scored 51 goals and conceded 23 in the process.

Mac Allister’s return in the final third means that Adam Lallana may have to settle on the bench, while Evan Ferguson should again start up front.
