- Team form: Brighton are unbeaten in their last 5 matches, have won their last 5 in a row.
- Home form: Liverpool are winless in 3 home Premier League games, drawing 2 and losing 1.
Seagulls arrive in good nick
Liverpool have hit a winning streak with 4 victories from their last 5 games and 2 in a row coming into Sunday's game with Brighton & Hove Albion, but Brighton arrive at Anfield in equally good nick. The visitors have won 5 in a row, picking up from a 2-0 away win at Sunderland with a 4-0 home Conference League victory over FK Zalgiris Kauno before thumping Crystal Palace 5-0 in their most recent league outing.
Fabian Hürzeler has moulded his new team into a high-pressing, possession-leaning side that combines a pressing game with some excellent, possession-based build-up. Pascal Gross is a dangerous player for Brighton and he's in great form, scoring 3 Premier League 2026/2027 goals in 5 games and possessing the uncanny ability to be in the box at the right time. His team have won 2 of their 3 away games in the Premier League 2026/2027, conceding just 4 goals on the road, so they should be very competitive in this fixture.
Reds have found their groove
Table context

Key players
The Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion prediction suggests a tight contest, with both sides in strong form.
- Andoni Iraola's side are a high-energy team themselves, with the 4-2-3-1 system allowing Cody Gakpo to play the central role he excels in as the supplier of the goals, contributing 3 assists in 5 games to give the Reds a spark between the lines.
- Alexander Isak is the team's finisher with 4 Premier League 2026/2027 goals in 5 and while he'll be licking his lips at the prospect of facing Brighton's poor defenders, Liverpool have only scored twice in their 3 home league games.
Back Brighton to get something
There's a bit of an expectation that Brighton might not get much of a run for their money on Sunday as Liverpool have improved and the visitors have only won 2 of their 3 Premier League 2026/2027 away games.
Odds and betting
However, Liverpool are 2.0 to win the game and Brighton look to be great odds at 3.3 as they're unbeaten in 5 and have won 5 in a row.
Head-to-head and prediction
These teams have split the last 3 head-to-heads with Liverpool winning once and Brighton twice, but the home team haven't won their last 3 Premier League 2026/2027 home games, so we're backing the Seagulls to do some damage.
Both teams to score at 1.5 appeals as the hosts are capable of scoring plenty, although they've been in a home slump, while Over 2.5 goals at 1.6 also looks good in this pressing and transition game with Brighton's wing overloads and Liverpool's direct counters looking to trip up the defences.
For our Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion betting tips, the value may lie with Brighton on the handicap. The forecast is that both teams can score in an entertaining match.
