Liverpool preview: Respite for the Reds
In midweek, Liverpool earned themselves a deserved victory against Internazionale at San Siro in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League but it was a game in which the Reds had to snatch a winner via a late and controversial Dominik Szoboszlai penalty.
That came a few days after they conceded a very late Leeds United equaliser in a 3-3 draw at Elland Road, meaning that their win against Inter was just their second win in seven and just their fifth in their last 16 across all competitions.
Brighton preview: Frustrated Seagulls
Brighton and Hove Albion come into this one on the back of a couple of frustrating home results in recent weeks after they suffered a 4-3 loss, from 2-0 up, against Aston Villa before snatching a late point at home to struggling West Ham United.
Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls have often been better on the road due to an overly deliberate and therefore fairly easily stifled style of football. They sit just a few points and places outside of the top four.

Liverpool vs Brighton prediction
With their home advantage, Liverpool will fancy themselves to get themselves on the front foot but the lack of cohesion and control, in both defence and attack, doesn’t mean that is something to bet on. They will give up chances to an often wasteful Brighton side and so the visitors can’t necessarily be backed either but both teams scoring would appear a good shout on Merseyside.
