Liverpool will trade tackles with Brighton in a Premier League matchday 16 clash on Saturday (December 13th). The game will be played at Anfield.
The home side will be looking to build on the 1-0 away win they registered over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League in midweek. They were handed a lifeline through a VAR-awarded penalty in the 87th minute and Dominik Szoboszlai made no mistake from 12 yards to settle the contest.
Thanks for the submission!
The Reds will shift their attention to the domestic scene, where their last game saw them share the spoils in an exhilarating six-goal thriller away to Crystal Palace.
Brighton, meanwhile, played out a 1-1 draw at home to West Ham. They went behind to Jarrod Bowen’s 73rd-minute strike but Georginio Rutter equalized in injury time.
The stalemate left the Sea Gulls in eighth spot in the standings, having garnered 23 points from 15 games. Liverpool are 10th with the same number of points.
Liverpool vs Brighton Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- This will be the 44th meeting between the two sides. Liverpool have 23 wins to their name, and Brighton were victorious eight times while 12 games ended in a share of the spoils.
- Their most recent clash came in May 2025 when Brighton claimed a 3-2 comeback home win on the penultimate matchday of last season.
- The last eight head-to-head games have produced three goals or more, with each of the six seeing both sides find the back of the net.
- Liverpool have lost just one of the last 11 head-to-head games at Anfield (seven wins).
- Brighton are winless in their last eight EPL games in December (five draws).
- Liverpool have not scored a first-half goal in any of their last five Premier League games.
Liverpool vs Brighton Prediction
Liverpool claimed a much-needed victory in midweek following days of off-field controversies surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future. Arne Slot masterminded a victory at the Giuseppe Meazza but home form has been far more patchy, with four losses registered in their last seven games at Anfield.
Brighton are above their hosts on goal difference and just two points off the top five. The East Sussex outfit are aiming to win successive head-to-head games for the first time in club history.
We expect the hosts to claim a multi-goal victory with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Brighton
