Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion: third against fifth, and a home side without a league win at Anfield in five 
Brighton are third in the Premier League with 16 points from seven games, and their 23 league goals are the most in the division. They’ve conceded five. It’s the best start the club has made to a Premier League season.
Liverpool sit two places and four points below them, on 12 points from three wins, three draws and a defeat, with a goal difference of plus one. The game was moved from Saturday to Sunday because of both clubs’ European fixtures, and it kicks off at 14:00 UK time at Anfield.
Anfield hasn’t been much help to Andoni Iraola’s side in the league. Liverpool are winless in their last five home Premier League games, with four draws and the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on 11 October, a result that equalled their heaviest home league defeat at the ground.
Their European form has been different. On Tuesday night Liverpool came from 2-0 down to beat Villarreal 4-3, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring twice, Araujo adding one before half-time and Florian Wirtz scoring his first goal of the season. A week earlier they won 6-3 at LASK, Bradley Barcola scoring a hat-trick.
Brighton have won six in a row in all competitions and kept a clean sheet in each of the last five. They beat Crystal Palace 5-0 at the Amex on Sunday, three of the goals coming inside the first ten minutes, and they play Jablonec in the Conference League on Thursday evening, three days before this game.
The last league meeting went Brighton’s way, 2-1 at the Amex on 21 March. Liverpool won the two meetings before that, 3-0 in the FA Cup in February and 2-0 in the league in December 2025, and Brighton have lost their last four away games at Liverpool.
Liverpool: seven goals in two European nights, no home league win since the summer 
Alexander Isak has five Premier League goals in 494 minutes, and his 70th-minute winner at Brentford last Friday came after Victor Munoz had cancelled out Lewis-Potter’s opener. Brentford finished that game with nine men.
The goals have come more easily in Europe than at home in the league. Liverpool have nine league goals from seven games, against ten in their last two Champions League matches, and they’ve conceded six in those two European games as well.
Jeremie Frimpong is the latest absentee. He picked up a new muscle injury at Brentford and isn’t expected back until around 22 November. Dominik Szoboszlai also went off in that game with a recurring thigh problem, and no return date has been given. Hugo Ekitike (Achilles), Conor Bradley (knee) and Giovanni Leoni (ACL) are all out long-term.
Ryan Gravenberch should be available. He was sent off against City, but the ban was for one domestic game and he served it at Brentford. With Szoboszlai doubtful, his return gives Iraola a midfield of Gravenberch and Mac Allister behind Wirtz, who has created 20 chances in the league.
Defensively, the numbers don’t support a clean sheet. Liverpool have conceded 13 in ten games across all competitions, and Villarreal scored three at Anfield on Tuesday, including twice in the first 29 minutes.

Brighton & Hove Albion: six straight wins, 11 different scorers and a Thursday trip to Jablonec 
Eleven different players have scored for Brighton this season. Against Palace, the goals came from a Canvot own goal, Diego Gomez, Ayari, Kostoulas and Hinshelwood, and Charalampos Kostoulas now has three league goals in 487 minutes.
The run behind them is long. Fabian Hurzeler’s side beat Coventry 5-0 away, Arsenal 3-0 at home, Sunderland 2-0 away, then Kauno Zalgiris 4-0 and Palace 5-0. They’ve scored 34 and conceded seven in 11 games across all competitions.
The defence has kept pace with the attack. Brighton have conceded five league goals in seven games, and the five straight clean sheets have come against Coventry, Arsenal, Sunderland, Kauno Zalgiris and Palace.
The injury list is mostly in attack. Evan Ferguson (ankle) and Stefanos Tzimas (knee) are out until around 20 November, Kaoru Mitoma has a thigh problem, and Femi Azeez and Zadok Yohanna are also missing. Mats Wieffer, Pascal Struijk and Yankuba Minteh are doubts, with Minteh yet to play this season.
Thursday’s game in the Czech Republic is the factor we’d weigh most. Hurzeler is expected to rotate in Jablonec, but the travel still cuts Brighton’s recovery to under three days, while Liverpool will have had five days since Villarreal.
Probable lineup Liverpool: Alisson; Kerkez, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Araujo; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Barcola, Wirtz, Victor Munoz; Isak
Probable lineup Brighton & Hove Albion: Verbruggen; Boscagli, Dunk, Vuskovic, Kadioglu; Chema Andres, Gross; De Cuyper, Ayari, Diego Gomez; Kostoulas
Free Premier League Prediction: Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Our prediction: Over 2.5 goals (1.61)
We’re taking over 2.5 goals at 1.61. Brighton’s league games have produced 28 goals in seven matches, and Liverpool’s last three fixtures across all competitions have finished 6-3, 2-1 and 4-3.
Brighton’s five straight clean sheets are the case against it. We’d weigh that run against the level of opposition: Coventry, Sunderland and Kauno Zalgiris are among the five, and none of them has the attacking players Liverpool can field, with Isak, Wirtz and Barcola all available.
We aren’t convinced either side can keep the other quiet. Liverpool have conceded in their last three games, Brighton score from all over the pitch, and a midfield short of Szoboszlai leaves gaps for Gomez and Ayari to run into. We expect three goals or more.

About our free predictions
- What we publish on MathOdds are analyses, nothing more. We share a view, a reading of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport remains what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a last-minute goal, and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, nothing ever is. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s even inevitable at some point.
- The smartest approach is to stay reasonable. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Never use money you need to live on. And above all: don’t chase your losses: that rarely ends well.
- A bet should remain a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking up too much space in your daily life, causes stress or frustration, take a break. And if needed, talk to a support organisation: that’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, no matter how good the analysis.
- Essential reminder: gambling is prohibited for minors and must comply with the laws of your country. Need help? Visit begambleaware.org.
No commitment from us
Our predictions carry no contractual value. They have no legal standing. In short: you cannot rely on them to claim anything if a bet doesn’t come through.
Information changes
A prediction is always based on what we know at the time of writing. But between publication and kick-off, a lineup can change, a player picks up an injury, the weather turns, and the analysis can quickly be outdated. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your responsibility
Before placing a bet, simply check that gambling is legal in your country. If it isn’t, that’s your responsibility, not ours.

We can’t say it enough: gamble responsibly. If you’re struggling to stay in control, don’t wait to seek help.
