Brighton and Hove Albion host Liverpool in this all-Premier League FA Cup fourth round tie. The home side are sixth in the Premier League, that's three places above their opponents who are the current FA Cup holders. Brighton have had an impressive season and only a fortnight ago, they beat Liverpool 3-0 at home. Earlier in the season these two sides fought out a 3-3 draw at Anfield and this looks like being a game that can again see a few goals scored. Brighton are unbeaten in their last four league and cup games but only two clean sheets have been kept in their last 13 games in all competitions. Home form has only seen two wins in the last six games but they were against Chelsea and Liverpool. The third round of this season's FA Cup saw Brighton make the long trip up north to Championship side Middlesbrough and they returned home with a 5-1 win.

Liverpool surely can't play as bad as they did at the Amex earlier this month. Jurgen Klopp will not be smiling if they do. Liverpool won the FA Cup last season and this competition looks their best hope of silverware this term. It might even be the only way they can clinch a place in European football for next season. The Reds haven't got the best of away records this season but do regularly get on the scoresheet. They've only failed to do that twice in their last 11 on the road. The problem is that their last 14 away competitive games have only produced three clean sheets. A bet on both teams to score looks to be one that can come up here.
