Team Preview, Form, and Standout Players

Sat in 9th spot, Brighton are on level points with their current main competitors in Brentford as the two teams tussle for 8th place. With the chance to secure European football for next season, Brighton have a tough schedule with Liverpool and Tottenham left to play.

Liverpool have been by far the best team in the Premier League, dominating throughout the season. However, since having their name engraved into silverware, the Reds have not been themselves, losing against Chelsea and drawing with Arsenal.

Mohamed Salah will be one to watch in this fixture, the Egyptian having scored 28 goals and assisted 18 in 36 Premier League appearances this season. Salah comes into this game in his worst form of the season, goal contribution-less in his last two fixtures.

Brighton Preview

Brighton Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Verbruggen, Wieffer, van Hecke, Webster, Estupinan, Lamptey, Baleba, O’Riley, Minteh, Welbeck, Pedro.

Facing the champions, Brighton will be without a handful of players due to injury. Ferdi Kadioglu, Solly March and Georginio Rutter remain out with injuries, while James Milner will not be present to face with former club due to a hamstring issue.

But the Seagulls will also have a huge boost as joint top goal-scorer Joao Pedro is set to return from suspension.

Liverpool Preview

Liverpool Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Alisson, Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Jones, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Diaz.
