Liverpool vs Brighton prediction
Liverpool’s unbeaten home record in Premier League action stretches all the way back to the end of 2022 and it is unlikely to be under threat this weekend.
Klopp needs a victory to keep up the title pressure, and Liverpool have lost just once in league action in 2024, with Brighton losing three of their last four away league games.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Brighton
