Liverpool

Brighton

Premier League, 14:00 @ 25.10.2026

Liverpool welcome Brighton to Anfield on Sunday 25 October, with kick-off at 2pm GMT. The Seagulls arrive third in the Premier League after an outstanding start, while fifth-placed Liverpool are still searching for their first home league victory under Andoni Iraola.

Brighton have won four consecutive league matches without conceding, scoring 15 goals along the way. Liverpool have shown plenty of attacking quality in Europe, but their domestic form remains inconsistent. I’m leaning towards Brighton to get something from this contest, despite their shorter recovery time.

Liverpool vs Brighton: Match Preview

Liverpool have endured an inconsistent start to the Premier League season, collecting 12 points from seven matches. Their recent results include a 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City and a 2-1 victory at Brentford. European performances have been more encouraging, with Liverpool beating LASK 6-3 and Villarreal 4-3 in the Champions League.

Brighton have been considerably more impressive domestically. Fabian Hürzeler’s side sit third with 16 points, having scored 23 goals and conceded just five. Their recent victories include a 3-0 win against Arsenal and a convincing 5-0 success over Crystal Palace. However, Brighton played away to FK Jablonec on Thursday, giving Liverpool two additional days of recovery before Sunday’s meeting. The match kicks off at 2pm GMT at Anfield, with Sky Sports providing UK television coverage.

Recent Form and Key Results

Team	Recent completed results
Liverpool	Won 4-3 vs Villarreal; Won 2-1 vs Brentford; Won 6-3 vs LASK
Brighton	Drew 0-0 vs Jablonec; Won 5-0 vs Crystal Palace; Won 3-0 vs Arsenal

Brighton’s Premier League numbers are impressive. They’ve scored 23 goals compared with Liverpool’s nine, while conceding five against the Reds’ eight. The underlying figures offer a closer comparison. Brighton have generated approximately 14.91 expected goals (xG), while Liverpool have recorded 10.92.

Brighton’s finishing has been exceptional, although Liverpool’s attacking performances suggest they’re capable of creating problems. Recent head-to-head results are relatively balanced. Brighton won 2-1 in March 2026, while Liverpool secured a 2-0 league victory in December 2025.

Team News and the Main Uncertainty

Liverpool have several selection concerns ahead of Sunday’s match. Dominik Szoboszlai is struggling with a recurring injury, while Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike and Conor Bradley remain sidelined. Ryan Gravenberch is available again following suspension, providing Iraola with another midfield option.

Alexander Isak has scored five Premier League goals, while Florian Wirtz has created 20 chances, making them two of Liverpool’s biggest attacking threats. Brighton are monitoring Kaoru Mitoma’s fitness, while Yankuba Minteh and Mats Wieffer have been working towards their returns. Hürzeler made eight changes for Thursday’s European draw against Jablonec, which should help keep several regular starters fresh despite the demanding schedule.

Tactical Analysis: Can Liverpool Handle Brighton’s Press?

Brighton’s aggressive pressing has been central to their excellent start. They’ve recorded 80 high turnovers in the Premier League, the highest total heading into Matchweek 8.

That pressure could cause problems for a Liverpool side that has struggled to control certain matches. Brighton’s ability to regain possession and attack quickly makes them particularly dangerous. However, Liverpool have the attacking quality to exploit space behind Brighton’s defensive line. Isak’s movement and Wirtz’s creativity could punish the visitors if their press is beaten.

Anfield hasn’t provided the usual advantage either. Liverpool have drawn twice and lost once in their opening three home league fixtures. Brighton have won two of their three away matches, and their recent defensive record gives them plenty of confidence. I expect Liverpool to create chances, but Brighton’s pressing intensity and superior league form make the visitors difficult to oppose.

Liverpool vs Brighton: Betting Odds

Liverpool are slight favourites despite Brighton’s stronger Premier League start and impressive attacking record.

Full-time result (1X2)	Odds
Liverpool to win	23/20
Draw	11/4
Brighton to win	21/10

Brighton to win at 21/10 is an appealing higher-risk selection. They’ve scored more than twice as many league goals as Liverpool and arrive with four consecutive Premier League victories. Anfield and the additional recovery time favour Liverpool, but Brighton’s current form makes the away price interesting.

Liverpool vs Brighton: Alternative Betting Odds

Brighton’s attacking form makes the goals markets particularly interesting, with both teams capable of creating plenty of chances.

Brighton or Draw (Double Chance)	7/10
Both Teams to Score – Yes	1/2
Over 2.5 Goals	4/7
Brighton Over 1.5 Team Goals	5/4
Brighton to Win & Both Teams to Score	7/2

Brighton or Draw at 7/10 remains my preferred conservative selection. For a bigger return, Brighton to Win & Both Teams to Score at 7/2 is worth considering, given the visitors’ impressive scoring record and Liverpool’s attacking quality. Pre-match prices subject to change before kick-off.
