Brighton will be bidding to return to the winning ways in the Premier League when they host Liverpool at the AMEX Stadium in the 29th round of the campaign. Kickoff is scheduled for 12th March 2022 at 15:30 EAT.
The hosts are on a four-game losing streak in the top flight, a run that has seen the team drop to the 13th place in the standings. Brighton have also picked up just one win from their last 10 Premier League matches at the Amex since the start of October – taking just two points from the last 12 on offer at home and scoring only 10 goals on familiar territory all season.
Graham Potter’s men will be hoping to end the losing run and make amends for the 2-1 Premier League defeat to Newcastle United in their game. In that match, Brighton & Hove Albion managed 68% possession 15 with of them on target and a goal scored by Lewis Dunk (55′). Newcastle United got 10 shots with four of them on target and goals by Ryan Fraser (12′) and Fabian Schär (14′).
Meanwhile, Liverpool is flying sky high currently in the 2nd spot with 63 points after 27 matches. The team has won all their last five matches in the premier league. However, the Reds’ 12-game winning streak in all competitions came to an end at the hands of the Inter Milan, while they also lost at Anfield for the first time this year, but domestically, this club has gone from strength to strength in 2022.
In their previous game, the Reds tasted defeat 0-1 at the hands of Inter Milan in Champions League action. In that match, Liverpool managed 63% possession and 12 shots with two of them on target. Inter Milan got six shots with three of them on target and a goal by Lautaro Martínez (62′).
