Liverpool travel to Brighton in their final away match of the season tonight.
This is the first of two fixtures the recently-crowned Premier League champions must play before finally getting their hands on the trophy to kick-start those planned celebrations on Merseyside.
Since thrashing Tottenham 5-1 last month to clinch the title, Liverpool’s levels have, understandably, dipped. They were beaten 3-1 away Chelsea before letting a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 at home to Arsenal last weekend.
Ahead of their penultimate game of the campaign, the squad and head coach Arne Slot have enjoyed some downtime abroad, which could be great news for Brighton as they look to sign off at home on a high.
The Seagulls are very much in the hunt for a top-eight finish in the Premier League, though they will have been pained to see rivals Crystal Palace lift the FA Cup on Saturday.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Brighton vs Liverpool is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight on Monday May 19, 2025.
The match will take place at the Amex Stadium in Brighton.

Brighton vs Liverpool prediction
Liverpool have, quite literally, been on the beach this week. Despite that, it will not be an easy game for Brighton as Mohamed Salah, in particular, is chasing the Premier League assists record, so expect the visitors to carry a threat in attack.
That said, the Reds most likely won’t be at their very best as evidenced by games against Chelsea and Arsenal.
Brighton to win, 2-1.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
Both meetings this season have been settled by the odd goal. In fact, the two teams met twice in the space of three days back in the winter with Liverpool winning the Carabao Cup fourth round tie 3-2 and then following that up with a 2-1 win in the Premier League at Anfield.
