Brighton vs Liverpool Prediction, 2:00 a.m. May 20: The King Gives Gifts

Pre-match comments Brighton vs Liverpool

Liverpool's title party was spoiled by Arsenal last week. Despite taking a two-goal lead through Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz, a lethargic second half cost them the game against a reinvigorated Gunners. The Reds had also been beaten 3-1 by Chelsea, reinforcing the view that Arne Slot's players were taking the rest of the season for granted. They had already started planning for their summer holidays, while the Dutchman was more preoccupied with pre-season preparations and transfer targets.

Last Saturday was a bad day for Brighton. Crystal Palace's FA Cup win has made their chances of reaching Europe increasingly slim. Even a ticket to the Conference League looks out of reach. Fabian Hurzeler's side are still fighting, though. At least improving their Premier League position is worth it (in terms of end-of-season bonuses). And a win over the new champions is something to celebrate. So Brighton will be determined to play at home.

Form, history of confrontation Brighton vs Liverpool

Brighton are not afraid of Liverpool at their home ground, Falmer Stadium (formerly Amex). In their most recent match against Liverpool, they played resiliently and only lost by a narrow score of 2-3. Before that, they drew 1 match and won 2 times.

Brighton have lost just one of their last seven Premier League home games (W4 D2). They have had 17 different goalscorers this season, more than any other team. Remarkably, the Seagulls have scored 13 goals in the final 10 minutes of Premier League games this season, but have also conceded 13 goals in the final 10 minutes.

Liverpool are in danger of going three games without a win for the first time this season. They have also lost two of their last three Premier League away games, as many as in their previous 30 (W17 D11). If they score in this game, it will be the first time Liverpool have scored in all of their away games in the English top flight.
