Liverpool vs Brighton Predictions

• Liverpool have failed to win eight of their last ten Premier League matches
• The last six league meetings have all featured more than two goals
• Brighton have lost two of their last 11 league outings

Liverpool’s issues look far from over

A few months ago some were wondering whether Liverpool could win the Premier League without losing a match, but after beginning the season with five straight league victories, the wheels have come off and there are plenty of cracks at Anfield.

It has not just been the Reds’ defence that has been leaky in recent weeks as Mo Salah said his relationship with manager Arne Slot had broken down after he felt he was being blamed for the slump that has seen the champions fail to win eight of their last ten league games.

The Reds did claim a 1-0 Champions League win against Inter in the Egyptian’s absence in midweek, but it is clear things are not going swimmingly in the Red half of Merseyside and this week’s visitors Brighton are just the sort of side who can take advantage.

Seagulls should be full of confidence

The Seagulls are a solidly run outfit who should always feel they are capable of gaining a positive result against any team in the top flight, and that includes any occasion when they head to Anfield.

Fabian Hurzeler’s side have kept successive clean sheets in their last two away matches and the fact they have scored at least twice in six of their last eight league games can only increase their optimism.

They face a team who have kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 league games and have conceded at least twice in seven of their last ten, so the visitors, who have lost two of their last 11 games, can gain a positive result.

Backing the Brighton or draw double chance looks the way forward and a 2-2 draw appeals from a correct-score perspective as this fixture tends to generate plenty of goals.

Welbeck can make his mark

Those looking for an anytime-goalscorer interest are pointed towards Brighton’s Danny Welbeck, who has been revisiting some of his former glories this season.

The ex-Manchester United striker has netted seven times this term, including a brace when he was introduced as a substitute in the 3-1 win against Chelsea and he also hit the target on a return to Old Trafford.

Welbeck has had multiple goal efforts in each of his last four league appearances, so it would not be a surprise if he found the net again in another big away game.
