📊EOTK Stats Pack: Brighton v Liverpool - Form guide, Premier League head-to-head and MORE
We analyse some of the key stats and info ahead of Liverpool's trip to Brighton in the Premier League this afternoon!
This afternoon, Liverpool are back in Premier League action for the first time since their highly controversial last-gasp defeat at Tottenham eight days ago. The Reds face another tricky away fixture today, travelling to a Brighton side who could potentially end the day just two points off the summit of the table.
Both teams were in Europa League action on Thursday night and both picked up positive results to banish the ghosts of galling domestic losses from the previous weekend. Also, with Arsenal and Manchester City playing each other later in the day, the 2pm kick-off at the Amex Stadium represents a chance for both the Seagulls and the Reds to gain ground on the teams around them. A win for Jurgen Klopp’s men would leave them only one point behind overnight league leaders Spurs.
🗨️ If Liverpool win today, do you think they’ll genuinely be in a title race for most of the season, having already ticked off some very tough away fixtures?
This also represents our final match of a hectic 23-day sequence in which we’ll have played seven times, with a 13-day gap until the Merseyside derby as the international scene takes over in the meantime. Today duly presents an opportunity to go into that pause to the season on a real high before an equally busy three-week period either side of Halloween.
Ahead of today’s clash on the south coast, let’s take a look at the form guide for both teams, delve into their Premier League head-to-head record and profile one player who’ll be very familiar to both sets of supporters.
