Liverpool will aim for back-to-back wins over Brighton this week as they look to stay competitive in the Premier League title race, hosting the Seagulls at Anfield on Saturday (11 am ET).
**WATCH LIVERPOOL vs BRIGHTON LIVE**
The Reds emerged victorious on Wednesday on the south coast, where Cody Gakpo scored twice and Luis Diaz netted the game-winner, advancing Liverpool to the League Cup quarterfinals. Their next cup game will be against Southampton in mid-December. Last weekend’s 2-2 tie with Arsenal dropped Liverpool from the top of the PL table, but they’ve taken seven points from three challenging games (Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United) under Arne Slot. A win on Saturday could make Slot the first Liverpool manager to secure eight wins in his first 10 top-flight matches. Liverpool will also face Manchester City and Aston Villa in the next three games, providing further insight into their title aspirations.
Saturday marks a fresh start for Brighton and new manager Fabian Hurzler, following their recent struggles: a 2-0 lead lost in the last five minutes to Wolves and a midweek League Cup exit. Brighton’s defense, which only allowed two goals in their first four unbeaten games, has recently shown cracks, conceding multiple goals in four of their last five matches. Brighton has also consistently found the net, scoring multiple goals in each of those games. Hurzler is clearly working to find a balanced approach.
