It'll be nothing short of blockbuster action when Liverpool plays Brighton in Round 4 of the FA Cup. With even a spot in Europe slipping out of The Reds' hands, the FA Cup might be Arne Slot's chance to salvage what's been an underwhelming season. The problem is that the Seagulls, who now face a real and existential relegation threat, are just as desperate for the silverware. Let's get into this match prediction!

Liverpool bounced back from home defeat to Man City with a tight win over Sunderland. That victory has now seen the Reds win three of their last four games and go unbeaten in 16 of their last 18 games. But the next challenge is one they'll find rather tricky. The Reds did beat Brighton 2-0 earlier this season, but Liverpool won't forget their 2023 exit in this very tournament at the hands of The Seagulls.

But most don't fancy Brighton's chances of winning this game, and for very good reasons. The Seagulls remain winless in five straight games. And just to give a general summary of their season, Brighton is now down to 14th in the league, with just three points clear of the relegation zone.

Liverpool - Brighton: Form Analysis

The difference in form couldn't be more stark between these two. Even with Liverpool underperforming in their title defence season, they are still miles ahead of Brighton.

With the win over Sunderland, Liverpool has now won three of its last four games, also beating Newcastle and Qarabag.

That victory also stretched The Reds' unbeaten run to 16 of its last 18 games in all tournaments.

Interestingly, among those 18 games was a 2-0 victory over Brighton. Meanwhile, Brighton has played 11 games since that Anfield defeat and has only won two.

One of those victories was against relegation-bound Burnley, and the other was against Man United in the last round of this tournament. Since then, Brighton has failed to win in five games, even going goalless in the last two.  

Still, the Seagulls may fancy their chances against Liverpool, considering they've not lost in five of their last nine meetings, while winning three.

Liverpool & Brighton Squad Analysis

Personnel-wise, Liverpool not only has the stronger roster, but also enters this game with several players in superior form than Brighton’s men. And we're taking all areas of the field, from goalkeeper to striker.

The defensive pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate in front of Alisson between the posts is directly responsible for Liverpool's 16-game unbeaten run in their last 18 games. However, it's The Reds' forwards Brighton may need to be most worried about.

Ekitike is in fiery form, with 12 G/A in his last 14 games in all competitions.

What's more, it was the Frenchman who scored both goals in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Brighton earlier this season.

It should also go without saying that Brighton must find a way to keep Mohammed Salah quiet, especially after recording a goal or assist in four of his last five games.

As for Brighton, they'll be relying on Danny Welbeck for the goal, as he has eight while the rest of the squad has three or fewer.

However, Welbeck has failed to record a goal contribution in his last five games, but did score a second goal that knocked Man United out in the last round.

Liverpool - Brighton Key Points

  1. Brighton has lost three of its last four games.
  2. Liverpool has won three of its last four games.
  3. In the league, Liverpool has scored the fifth-most goals (41).
  4. Liverpool has won four of its last five meetings against Brighton.

Our Liverpool vs Brighton Prediction

The Seagulls are formidable opponents and showed exactly that with their victory over Man United in the last round. However, they performed against an underperforming United side. In truth, Brighton has been abysmal all season and has failed to win ever since the Man Utd victory.

Brighton has now lost three of its last four, which is in sharp contrast to Liverpool's form of three victories in the last four. Hence, our Liverpool vs Brighton prediction is that Liverpool wins.

Liverpool vs Brighton Alternative Predictions

Both Teams To Score - Yes

Odds 1.57
Another highly likely outcome here is for both teams to score. Even with Brighton’s defensive woes, they do tend to score goals, which is why five of their last seven games featured both teams scoring. Likewise, Liverpool are still vulnerable at the back, especially in recent times, as five of their last eight games featured goals from both teams.
