Liverpool hope to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when Brighton and Hove Albion visit what could be a tempestuous Anfield on Saturday.
Liverpool had a nice midweek after a brutal start to it, beating Inter Milan in Italy despite leaving Mo Salah out of the squad after the Egyptian’s explosive rant left Arne Slot admitting concern for Salah’s future with the club. Will Salah be in the 18 on Saturday?
WATCH — Liverpool v Brighton
The Reds started 5-0-0 in Premier League play but have an awful record of 2W-2D-6L dating back to September 27. They’ve won just one of their last five in the league, a 2-0 victory over West Ham which has been followed by draws with newly-promoted Sunderland and Leeds United.
It’s another chance for Brighton not to stumble on the precipice. The Seagulls have climbed close to the top four multiple times this season just to come up short.
Fabian Hurzeler’s men are three points back of the top four after 15 matches, but really could’ve been in the thick of those places had they not lost a two-goal lead at home to Villa in Week 14 before drawing West Ham 1-1 — also at home — on Sunday.

Liverpool vs Brighton prediction
Your guess is as good as ours. Liverpool have tremendous attacking depth even if Salah joins Gakpo in being unavailable for this contest. And maybe that’ll be enough to tip the scales at home against a Brighton team which has beaten Chelsea away and both Man City and Newcastle at home this season. Liverpool 2-1 Brighton .
