Brighton – Liverpool : Preview & Prediction
Brighton and Hove have taken just six points from their last eight Premier League games, a poor record that has seen Potter’s side slip to the bottom of the table. Currently 13th overall after a long period in the top half of the table, Brighton has been in a state of perdition for the past month, losing four of the last four games. Maupay’s eight-goal partnership with the club has been beaten at Manchester United (2-0), Burnley (0-3), Aston Villa (0-2) and Newcastle (2-1) over the weekend. With 11 games to go and a 12-point lead over the relegation zone, there is no fire in the lake for Brighton but the current situation remains uncomfortable. Liverpool, who were held 2-2 in the first leg after leading 2-0, will be looking to pick up three vital points in the title race. The Reds, who have been on a roll in the league, have picked up five points from Manchester City in the last seven games and are now six points behind the leaders, but with a game in hand to make up. Klopp’s players have won 7 straight league games, including the last 3 against Norwich (3-1), Leeds (6-0) and West Ham (1-0). The partners of Salah (19 goals), victorious in the EFL Cup, are still in the race on all fronts and they have just qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League after beating Inter Milan (2-0 and 0-1) despite a home defeat (0-1) without consequence on Tuesday. The English side dominated the match but were unlucky to hit the woodwork on three occasions, but they still qualified.
