Liverpool – Brighton

Liverpool head into the Anfield clash perched in fifth place with 12 points from seven games, having scored nine and conceded eight while remaining unbeaten in six of those fixtures. Brighton sit at the very bottom of the table, 40th, with seven points after three wins and a draw, boasting a flawless defensive record of zero goals conceded. The stark contrast in form and goal‑difference sets up a classic top‑vs‑bottom encounter, and Liverpool will be eager to extend their unbeaten run at home. For the Seagulls, a point at Anfield would be a massive boost, but they will need to find a way past a Liverpool side that has already tasted defeat only once this season.
