Liverpool return to Premier League action later today against Brighton later today, looking to make up for lost ground after a difficult start to the season.
Jurgen Klopp’s side sit eighth in the table with just two wins from their opening six matches, the club falling a long way off the standards set in recent seasons.
Following the postponement of their matches against Chelsea and Wolves, this will be Liverpool’s first league match in almost a month.

Liverpool vs Brighton prediction
It’s tough to know what to expect from Brighton, as they begin life under De Zerbi with a tough away day.
Liverpool will be hoping the international break brought a change in fortunes, putting a really poor start to the season behind them. With midfield options now returning and that opportunity to reset, Klopp’s side should now kick into gear against a Brighton side getting used to a new manager.
Liverpool to win, 2-1.
