Premier League action returns this Sunday as Liverpool host a highly confident Brighton side on Merseyside. While historical head-to-heads slightly favor the hosts, the Seagulls look to exploit any continental fatigue to cause a massive upset. The visitors need a tactical masterclass to breach the Anfield fortress, especially since they have lost each of their last four visits to this ground. Let's look at the best betting angles.

Premier League
Liverpool holds the edge over the last few years, winning five of their last seven matchups. However, the two sides secured a 2-1 victory in their most recent encounter back in March. Historically, this explosive fixture averages a staggering 3.43 goals per game.
Liverpool team overview
Liverpool enters this one on the back of a hard-fought 4-3 home victory against Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds are in scintillating form under Andoni Iraola. Iraola’s men have been absolutely flying in recent weeks, picking up five wins from their last six games across all competitions.
Their form at Anfield has been good too. The defeat against Man City is their only home loss so far this season, winning three and drawing two of their six games on their own turf this season.
The Reds will heavily rely on midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who scored twice against Villarreal in Europe last time out.
Liverpool look formidable right now, though they must navigate a mounting injury crisis. Midfielder Harvey Elliott remains sidelined with a foot injury, joining a crowded medical room that currently includes Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong.

Brighton team overview
Brighton & Hove Albion prepares for this one on the back of a goalless draw with Jablonec in the UEFA Conference League. The Seagulls are enjoying a highly competitive campaign.
Fabian Hürzeler’s men sit comfortably in the Premier League top four after accumulating 16 points from their opening 7 matches. Their performances on the road have been exceptionally solid.
The Seagulls are currently on a four-match unbeaten streak away from home, including a 5-0 win over Coventry and a 3-2 win over Man United in the League Cup third round.
Charalampos Kostoulas is leading the line brilliantly with four goals and three assists to his name already this season. Brighton is currently dealing with a significant absence out wide, as star winger Kaoru Mitoma is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Prediction
Anfield will be rocking. Don't expect Brighton to lay down quietly though, especially since they've been absolutely hammering in goals on the road lately. Still, I'm backing a narrow 2-1 victory for Liverpool. It just feels right. Alexis Mac Allister is in absolutely red-hot form at the moment. He'll definitely haunt his former club, breaking seaside hearts to secure a massive, hard-fought three points for Iraola’s flying Reds.
Four reasons we expect over 2.5 goals in this game
- Liverpool have only one clean sheet in their last six matches.
- Brighton scored 2+ goals in each of their last four league outings.
- Three of the last five away games of Brighton produced 5+ goals.
- 5 of the last 6 meetings between Liverpool and Brighton at this ground produced over 2.5 goals.
