Premier League Quick Preview: Liverpool Vs Brighton
Anfield hosts one of the division’s most in-form sides - Brighton - against a Liverpool team struggling to find a bit of consistency.
Check out our BetBuilderAI predictions for Liverpool Vs Brighton.
Liverpool are up to fifth on 12 points after taking care of business at Brentford with a 2-1 win, although the home side finished the game with nine players.
Brighton are third with 16 points and the best goal difference in the league of +18 - thanks to four straight wins, including a 5-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Despite their higher position in the table, Brighton are underdogs on UK betting sites to win at Anfield.
Brighton’s Attack Has Found Another Level
Brighton have scored in every league game this season and have gone 435 minutes without conceding a goal since Jayden Bogle scored for Leeds on September 5.
Fabian Hurzeler's side have scored two or more goals in all but one of their seven league games this season so Liverpool have been warned.
Liverpool scored twice in their victory on the road at Brentford last weekend and already at this stage of the season the Reds are nine points off the leaders Manchester City.
Corners And Discipline
Both sides have won three or more corners in every one of their seven league matches - a genuinely even battle for set-piece territory expected. Liverpool have conceded three or more corners in their last six matches, which is the same streak for the Seagulls.
Liverpool's opponents have been shown one card or more in every league game, so Brighton will do well to avoid a booking.
It's 11/10 on betting apps for this game at Anfield to produce 11 or more total corners.

Liverpool can ill afford to lose more ground in the title race and their fans will demand another Dominik Szoboszlai-inspired 3-0 at Anfield like in last season's FA Cup would be very welcome.
Brighton have been great to watch and it's no surprise that they lead the league with 125 shots already this season and there's no reason why they won't continue their attacking philosophy this weekend.
If you have a free bet to use, why not try it on both teams to score two or more goals at 14/5.
