The Reds won on the south coast on Wednesday as Cody Gakpo bagged a brace and Luis Diaz scored the winner to reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup, forcing Arne Slot’s side to face Southampton again in the week of December 16. weekend 2-2 draw against Arsenal means they are no longer top of the PL table, but Liverpool will be delighted to have taken seven points from their three toughest games (Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United) in Slot’s first nine games. A win against Brighton would make the Dutchman the first Liverpool manager to win eight of his first ten top-flight games as manager of the club. Liverpool will also face Manchester City and Aston Villa in the next three league games, after which we should have a good idea whether or not they will be title contenders for the entire season.

Saturday offers a chance for a brand new start for Brighton and fellow first-year boss Fabian Hurzler, who saw his side cough up a 2-0 lead after 85 minutes by drawing Wolves before crashing out of the cup in midweek. After conceding just two goals in four games to start the season undefeated (2W-2D-0L), the Seagulls have conceded multiple goals in four of their last five games and reached the 25-minute mark just once before they had to give in. On the other hand, Brighton themselves also scored multiple goals in each of those four games. It’s safe to say that Hurzler is still trying to find the right balance between two extremes.

Liverpool vs Brighton prediction

Brighton will try to force Liverpool into an end-to-end match, but the Reds have shown admirable restraint (apart from the first half against Arsenal) in sticking to Slot’s patient plan. Brighton will find it very difficult to generate scoring chances if they cannot open the match. Liverpool 3-1 Brighton.
