Liverpool head down to Brighton for a heavyweight Premier League clash today.
Roberto De Zerbi’s Seagulls have been both amazing and awful this season, with a battling draw at Marseille coming off the back of their 6-1 thumping away to Aston Villa last time out in the Premier League.
Nonetheless, they sit fifth in the table with the best offensive record in the division after seven games.

That is typically an honour that Liverpool would associate with themselves and Jurgen Klopp’s side have indeed been a big threat so far this term, and enter the weekend only two points off top of the table.
Several players were rested for the midweek win over Union Saint-Gilloise, leaving the Reds in good stead to end their poor run of results against Brighton and put the VAR controversy at Tottenham behind them.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Brighton vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 2pm BST kick-off on Sunday, October 8, 2023.
The match will take place at the Amex Stadium.
