Brighton vs Liverpool LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction today
Liverpool head to Brighton this afternoon in another huge test for Jurgen Klopp’s side. The Reds had enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season until last weekend’s controversial defeat to Tottenham, as the fallout from that continues. Still, Jurgen Klopp’s side impressed despite going down to nine men, underlining their title credentials following a difficult season last time out.
The Seagulls, meanwhile, are looking for a response. The arrival of Europa League football into their calendars looks to have complicated matters and they were thrashed 6-1 away at Aston Villa last time out. Though few would ever doubt their quality, they must find a way to balance competing across a number of fronts.
Three points for Liverpool would also put extra pressure on Manchester City ahead of their trip to Arsenal later on Sunday. Follow all the action today LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
