    Tough Test for Liverpool as They Travel to Brighton
    13/01/23 7849

    We have a full round of fixtures in the English Premier League on the weekend and on the 14th of January Brighton meet Liverpool.

    The game will be played at the American Express Community Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 8th place on 27 points while the visitors are in 6th place on 28 points.

    Brighton come into the game on the back of a memorable 5-1 victory at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup last weekend. Having opened the scoring in only the 8th minute, the Championship club equalised 5 minutes later.

    However, The Seagulls took the lead for the second time in the 29th minute and made no mistake in the second half, scoring 3 more goals without reply.

    Trends show Brighton have won 3 of their last 4 matches, 2 of which have come in the Premier League. The wins in the Premier League have both been away and Brighton have beat Southampton and Everton on the road.

    Brighton have won 4 of their 6 most recent fixtures in the Premier League but only 1 of those victories has come at home.

    Home form in the league shows Brighton have won just 1 of their last 5 games. There have been defeats to Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Arsenal.

    Both teams have scored in each of their last 3 home Premier League matches and Brighton have seen over 2.5 goals plus both teams score in each of their last 7 league games.

    Liverpool make the trip south to the American Express Community Stadium having previously been held to a 2-2 draw at home in the FA Cup by Wolverhampton Wanderers.

    Wolves opened the scoring in the 26th minute but Liverpool took the lead thanks to goals either side of half time. However, Liverpool could not hold on to their lead and Wolves equalised in the 66th minute to force a replay.

    That result means Liverpool have won 2 of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions. They beat Aston Villa away and Leicester City at home in the Premier League but there have been defeats in the League Cup to Manchester City and in the Premier League at Brentford.

    Trends show Liverpool have won 4 of their last 5 league matches and both teams scored in Liverpool's last 6 Premier League games.

    Looking ahead to the team news and Brighton have doubts over the fitness of Belgian forward Leandro Trossard. He is the only player potentially unavailable for the hosts.

    Liverpool are without the injured Virgil Van Dijk, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Arthur. The Reds also have doubts over the fitness of James Milner.

    This could be one of the most exciting games to watch in the Premier League this weekend.

    We expect both teams to score and for over 2.5 goals in total. Brighton have struggled at home against teams from the top six this season and that could continue in this match, with Liverpool taking maximum points.
