Time:21-03-2026 20:45 Saturday

【Strength Comparison】
Liverpool: Currently sitting in 5th place (49 points), the Reds are coming off a dominant 4-0 midweek Champions League win over Galatasaray. While their European form is peaking, their domestic league form has been inconsistent, characterized by a "fatigue" factor due to a heavy schedule (3 games in 6 days).

Brighton: Positioned in 12th place (40 points), the Seagulls have found stability recently, winning 3 of their last 4 matches. They are notoriously difficult to beat at home, having lost only 3 of their 15 league games at the Amex this season.

【Head-to-Head】
Historically, Liverpool leads the matchup, but the Amex has been a "bogey ground" for them recently.

Recent Encounter: Liverpool won the reverse fixture 2-0 at Anfield in December 2025 and knocked Brighton out of the FA Cup 3-0 in February 2026.

Amex Record: Liverpool has only won 2 of their last 7 trips to Brighton.

Trend: 8 of the last 9 league meetings between these two have seen 3 or more goals scored.

【Key Factors】
Salah’s Absence: Mohamed Salah is officially ruled out after picking up an injury against Galatasaray. This leaves a massive void in Liverpool's attack, likely forcing Dominik Szoboszlai or Florian Wirtz into more advanced roles.

The Mitoma Return: Brighton welcomes back Kaoru Mitoma from an ankle injury. His pace on the wing against a potentially tired Liverpool backline could be the deciding factor.

Late Goal Curse: Liverpool has conceded 8 goals in the 90th minute or later this season. Brighton’s high-intensity pressing often wears opponents down, making the final 10 minutes critical.

Alisson Status: There are conflicting reports regarding Alisson Becker; while he played midweek, some late updates suggest a fresh injury concern, which might see Giorgi Mamardashvili start.

【Expert Prediction】Brighton 1–1 Liverpool
Given Liverpool's grueling schedule and the absence of Salah, Brighton is well-positioned to claim a result. However, Liverpool’s momentum from their European success cannot be ignored.
