Liverpool
- Liverpool are fresh from a couple of emphatic wins after a shaky start to the Premier League 2026/2027 season, and their last two performances have shown that this really is a different Reds team this season.
- Andoni Iraola has molded his side into a high-energy, pressing 4-2-3-1 team, who can hurt opponents with quick vertical runs and structured, all-out pressing.
- The Reds have failed to win any of their opening three home league games, drawing two and losing one.
- They have scored just twice in this run, and this is where Brighton will get some hope in this clash.
Brighton
- Brighton have been tearing up the Premier League 2026/2027 so far, following up a 2-0 win away at Sunderland last weekend with a 4-0 home win over FK Zalgiris Kauno in the Conference League and a 5-0 battering of Crystal Palace at the weekend.
- Fabian Hürzeler has made Brighton a team with an identity again, blasting through opponents with a pressing, possession-based identity that blends fluid build-up play with trigger-based pressure.
- Brighton have conceded four away from home in the Premier League 2026/2027, and we could see an open, flowing game at Anfield.
Head-to-Head
- The Reds sit 5th in the table with 12 points from seven games, while Brighton are 2nd with 16.
- Brighton have beaten Liverpool in two of the last three meetings, losing the other, and they head to Anfield unbeaten in their last five games.
- There is a slight edge for the hosts, as Brighton have failed to win either of their previous two visits to Anfield, but this game should be a lot closer than Liverpool's 2.0 price suggests.
Key Players
Pascal Gross is the danger man for the visitors, arriving late in the box and making no mistake when he does.
- Gross has three goals in the Premier League 2026/2027 in five matches and is the best odds for an anytime scorer on Sunday.
- Cody Gakpo is Liverpool's chief creator, providing three assists in just five appearances.
- Alexander Isak has scored four goals in the Premier League 2026/2027 in just five appearances, leading the club in scoring charts.
