Liverpool FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion FC Prediction Premier League · Oct 25, 2026

Analysis

Liverpool come in with three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five, but the attacking numbers are modest: just three goals in their last four domestic outings, a goalless home draw with Fulham and a chastening 0-3 home loss to Manchester City on 11 October. Brighton are clearly the hotter side, scoring 14 goals in five matches — 5-0 at Coventry, 3-0 at home to Arsenal, 2-0 at Sunderland — and they have found the net in all five, with three clean sheets along the way; their only loss was a 4-3 shoot-out at Chelsea. The top of the table is unusually congested, with the leaders on 15 points from five games, the second-placed side also on 15 from six and third place on 13, so a home slip here would be expensive. Liverpool's defensive base is still solid — four goals conceded in their last five with two shut-outs — and Anfield plus that platform is why we lean slightly to the hosts. But Brighton's scoring run and willingness to play through the press means a narrow, open game is the likeliest shape, which is why we land on 2-1 rather than a comfortable home win.
