Liverpool vs Brighton at Anfield is the pick of the Premier League weekend. It pits a Liverpool side still hunting a first home league win against a red-hot Brighton.
Liverpool sit fifth in the table, yet Anfield has stopped feeling like a fortress. Only two points from their first three home league games tells you everything.
Brighton arrive third in the table and in no mood to be polite. Fabian Hürzeler's side have scored 23 goals in their opening seven Premier League matches.
History favours the hosts here. Liverpool have won their last 4 home league meetings with the Seagulls, and Brighton have won just once in their last 10 Premier League visits to Liverpool.
Liverpool vs Brighton Form
Liverpool are hard to read. Under Andoni Iraola they have seven wins and just one defeat in 11 matches across all competitions, but the football has not always flowed. The Champions League comeback against Villarreal showed real bite, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring twice, and Florian Wirtz is creating more than anyone in the division.
Brighton are flying. They have won their last four Premier League matches without conceding, and the 5-0 demolition of Crystal Palace was the loudest statement yet. Charalampos Kostoulas keeps finding the net up front, Yasin Ayari is happy to shoot on sight, and Pascal Groß is still pulling the strings in the engine room.

Liverpool
Ryan Gravenberch returns after serving a one-match ban against Brentford, which is a timely boost for the engine room. Jeremie Frimpong misses out with a muscle injury, while Dominik Szoboszlai is doubtful after picking up a muscle injury last weekend. Rio Ngumoha is pushing for a start after an excellent Champions League display, but the teenager may have to settle for a place on the bench.
Brighton
Brighton are likely to name an unchanged side after thrashing Crystal Palace, which makes them the easier half of the Liverpool vs Brighton lineups to call. Pascal Struijk is hoping to return from a thigh injury, while summer signing Femi Azeez remains a doubt as he chases his Premier League debut.

This Liverpool vs Brighton prediction backs the hosts, who are 6/5 with Unibet, because Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz give them enough to hurt a Brighton side that can be opened up.

Liverpool vs Brighton Talking Points
The headline battle is Florian Wirtz against a Brighton back line that has kept a clean sheet in their last 4 Premier League matches. Something has to give, and we think it is the clean sheets, because Brighton can be opened up too easily and Wirtz is the most creative player in the division. Both sides rate highly for coming back from losing positions, so an early goal will not settle anything. The Liverpool vs Brighton betting odds price the draw at 3/1 with Betfred, but this has the feel of a messy, open afternoon that someone wins, and we expect that to be the hosts.
