Our Prediction Tip
Liverpool will win this match.
2019-11-3015:00:00 Liverpool will win this match.
Liverpool have won 17 of their 29 previous games against Brighton, including all four since the Seagulls’ Premier League promotion in 2017. The Reds put nine past them in two matches in the 2017-18 season, but both matches last season ended 1-0. Mo Salah scored Liverpool’s goal in both fixtures.
Liverpool will expect nothing less than another three points from their home match with Brighton as they continue to set the pace atop the Premier League.
A brief slip-up in mid-week against Napoli will do little to deter the Reds, who have dropped just two points in the league all season.
Sadio Mane’s goals against Manchester City and Crystal Palace continue his good form, while Roberto Firmino netted a late winner against Palace last time out.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have won all four Premier League matches they have played against Brighton too, including a pair of 1-0 wins last season.
Mo Salah scored the winner in each and he is back now.
For Brighton, they recorded important wins against Everton and Norwich but are now in a tough run of fixtures that has already included losses to Manchester United and Leicester.
They are not expected to get anything from this game either. Anything less than a comfortable home win would be a huge shock.
Liverpool are a best price of 2/9 to win with Ladbrokes.
A Liverpool win to nil, as Leicester managed against the Seagulls last weekend, improves those odds to 10/11 with Bet365 and Ladbrokes.
You can also bet against both teams to score at 4/5 with 888sport.
Nevertheless, with Liverpool in good form, you can get 1/2 from Betfair on there being over 2.5 goals.
Mo Salah is a best price of 10/11 with Ladbrokes and Betway to score at any time, after his goals against Brighton last season, while top-scorer Sadio Mane is 17/20 with 888sport.
Liverpool will expect to win at home to Brighton as they bid to continue setting the pace in the Premier League.
Fabinho’s injury against Napoli means the central midfielder will miss out, while Naby Keita – one possible replacement – missed training earlier in the week due to illness. Joel Matip remains sidelined. Mo Salah returned in mid-week, however, and will take his place in Liverpool’s attacking trio this week.
Sadio Mane – The Senegalese winger has scored 12 times in 19 appearances now this season, as well as supplying five assists too.
Mohamed Salah – The Egyptian returned to the starting line-up in mid-week and will now bid to add to his nine goals and five assists so far this season.
Roberto Firmino – Netted the winner at Crystal Palace last weekend – his fourth goal of the season, to go with the eight assists he has managed.
Liverpool’s winning streak was ended with a Champions League draw at home to Napoli last time out – Dejan Lovren scoring Liverpool’s second-half equaliser. The Reds had won the previous four in a row, including their 3-1 home win against Manchester City – a match mired in VAR controversy. Fabinho, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane scored the Reds’ goals, before Mane opened the scoring and Roberto Firmino scored a late winner in last weekend’s 2-1 win at Crystal Palace.
Graham Potter could have both Aaron Connolly and Bernardo available again, leaving only long-term absentee Jose Izquierdo on the injury list. After holding in-form Leicester for the best part of an hour, they may stick with most of the same starting XI as last weekend, however – though captain Lewis Dunk, back from suspension, will be in the back three.
Neil Maupay – The former Brentford striker has scored four times in his maiden Premier League season.
Leandro Trossard – Scored in Brighton’s most recent win, against Norwich, and earned a Belgian call-up too.
Pascal Gross – The German midfielder has come up with some big goals in fixtures like this one – just ask Manchester United.
After back-to-back home wins against Everton and Norwich – Leandro Trossard and Shane Duffy scoring Brighton’s goals in a 2-0 defeat of the latter – the Seagulls have lost their last two in a row. Lewis Dunk scored in a 3-1 defeat at Manchester United while, last weekend, they lost 2-0 at home to Leicester.
