Brighton and Hove Albion
Brighton and Hove Albion came through a tough away match last round, but still managed to snatch a 1:0 win over Sunderland. That victory was their third in the last four Premier League matches, with the club only losing to Arsenal during that run. It is also worth noting that Brighton and Hove Albion have not conceded more than one goal in each of their previous seven league games. The team have noticeably improved their position in the standings, moving up to 12th place.
- No more than two goals were scored in 6 of the club's last 7 Premier League games.
- At least one of the teams failed to score in 5 of Brighton and Hove Albion's last 6 Premier League matches.
- On home soil, the team have not won 7 of their last 9 league matches (4 draws and 3 defeats).
Potential Brighton and Hove Albion Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Bart Verbruggen – Jan Paul van Hecke, Ferdi Kadioglu, Lewis Dunk, Mats Wieffer – Pascal Gross, James Milner – Jack Hinshelwood, Diego Gomez, Yakuba Minteh – Danny Welbeck.
Defenders Stefanos Tsimas and Adam Webster will miss the match through injury.
Liverpool
Liverpool have once again found themselves in another slump this season. After three straight league wins in February, it looked as though the team were about to return to the top four. But spring arrived, fixtures against relegation candidates followed, and Arne Slot's men somehow first lost away to Wolverhampton Wanderers (1:2) and then drew at home with Tottenham Hotspur (1:1). No, the club have not lost their chance of getting back into the Champions League places — they remain fifth — but the nearest chasers are now not so far away, with Chelsea just one point behind. It is also worth noting that the club's goal difference is only +9, something that has not happened to them at this stage of a Premier League campaign since the 2011/12 season (when it was just +5).
- In their last 12 league matches, Liverpool have recorded only 4 wins (5 draws and 3 defeats).
- Both teams to score landed in 7 of Liverpool's last 9 Premier League games.
- The team have not won the first half in 14 consecutive away Premier League matches (8 draws and 6 defeats).
Potential Liverpool Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Alisson – Dominik Szoboszlai, Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez – Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch – Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Rio Ngumoha – Cody Gakpo.
Defender Conor Bradley, midfielder Wataru Endo and forward Alexander Isak are injured.

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Liverpool: Match Prediction
The upcoming match is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair. After all, Brighton and Hove Albion fixtures are among the least entertaining in the league, with an average of 2.5 goals scored. Interestingly, in this calendar year the Seagulls have conceded more than one goal in the league only once. At the same time, the team themselves look frankly weak in attack, scoring more than once in only two of their last 10 Premier League matches.
Liverpool are also struggling going forward, having scored more than one goal in only one of their last six Premier League matches — against West Ham United. Therefore, we believe this game will feature no more than three goals. That was the case in Brighton and Hove Albion's previous 11 league matches, and also in 5 of Liverpool's last 6 Premier League games.
Prediction: Under 3 goals
