With the league title seemingly out of reach, can Liverpool push for a FA Cup trophy?
Liverpool vs Brighton
Liverpool vs Brighton Form
Liverpool come into this FA Cup clash in solid overall form, winning five of their last seven matches across all competitions. Their victories include a 3-0 UCL win at Marseille, a 6-0 home demolition of Qarabag, and a 4-1 Premier League win over Newcastle, showing firepower in attack. Losses have come narrowly against Bournemouth (3-2) and Manchester City (2-1), while they also secured a 1-0 win over Sunderland midweek.
Brighton & Hove Albion are struggling for consistency, taking just one win from their last six matches across all competitions. They beat Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup, but in the league they have managed only two draws (Bournemouth 1-1, Everton 1-1) and suffered defeats to Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Aston Villa, leaving them on a six-game winless streak in the Premier League. Defensive frailties and low scoring form on the road highlight their current challenges.

Liverpool vs Brighton Match Prediction
Liverpool are set to maintain their strong FA Cup record at Anfield, where they remain unbeaten in 11 home meetings with Brighton & Hove Albion (W8 D3), scoring eight and conceding just one in the last three clashes.
Slot’s side arrive in decent rhythm, having claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Sunderland following a 2-1 defeat to Man City, and sit sixth in the Premier League, just three points off fourth.
Brighton, by contrast, are struggling on the road, with just one win in their last 13 league away fixtures and a six-game winless streak in the Premier League, despite strong FA Cup form that includes seven wins in their last eight away ties.
Liverpool have been eliminated at this stage six times in the last nine seasons but typically dominate Brighton in head-to-head contests.
Mohamed Salah’s proven record against the Seagulls - 10 goals and eight assists in 19 meetings - provides some hope.
Predicted Score: Liverpool 2-1 Brighton
