Storylines
Liverpool: Stopping Mohamed Salah is an almost impossible task, especially for a Brighton side that hasn’t kept many clean sheets in league play. In Klopp’s final season in charge, he has a myriad of attackers at his disposal which can be used to carve Brighton apart, especially in the friendly confines of Anfield.
Brighton: With Xabi Alonso set to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, now all eyes are turning to Roberto De Zerbi who will be one of the top managers on the market if he would be interested in leaving Brighton. Reportedly already having discussions with Bayern Munich to replace Thomas Tuchel, this is something that could end up impacting Brighton’s play for the remainder of the season.
Prediction
The Reds will keep their good form going as they dispatch Brighton to keep pressure on both Arsenal and Manchester City ahead of their clash. Pick: Liverpool 3, Brighton 1
