Ace Football previews the Premier League game between Liverpool and Brighton and offers betting tips, odds, line-ups and team news.
After suffering a recent slump, Liverpool will be aiming to record their third successive win in the Premier League.
Brighton might have claimed a win over Tottenham but an ‘in-form’ Reds side will be a much bigger mountain to climb.
From struggling to score goals, Liverpool have scored six in their last two outings, winning both by a 3-1 score-line.
Mohamed Salah in particular is on form at the moment and he’ll be fired up to add more to his tally.
Brighton are unbeaten in their last three games but it will take something special for them to record a win against the reigning champions.
With that in mind, Liverpool are primed for a win at Anfield.
Liverpool Form and Stats
Back-to-back 3-1 wins over Tottenham and West Ham in the last seven days have revitalised Liverpool’s season.
Having won one of their previous seven games in all competitions, goals from Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mo Salah sealed a crucial win at Tottenham.
Salah was on the mark again twice at West Ham on Sunday along with Georginio Wijnaldum to send Liverpool back up to third place.
In their last game at Anfield, a 68-game unbeaten run was also ended in a dismal 1-0 defeat to Burnley. That will be further motivation for them to win at the iconic stadium tonight.
