Brighton v Liverpool: match preview

Brighton v Liverpool
Brighton v Liverpool: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Brighton are suffering their worst run of form of the season and, ignoring the harmless, narrow defeat to Internazionale, Liverpool are on their best. The criticism of Graham Potter’s side has remained the same throughout his tenure – they do not score enough. One goal and four defeats from their past four matches underlines this neatly. Liverpool should be able to handle their business comprehensively, then, as they continue to chase Manchester City in the title race. A win in the early slot would apply a modicum of pressure but they may feel a touch themselves as now they have to win every game going. Graham Searles
