Liverpool vs Brighton: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Sunday 13th May 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Anfield

Match Preview:

Due to Liverpool's superior goal difference over Chelsea, a draw will likely be enough for them to assure their top 4 status after losing against Chelsea, which was a massive blow against a potential top 4 rival. This is something Liverpool didn't need and manager Jurgen Klopp would have preferred to rest his best players ahead of their Champions League final match against Real Madrid at the end of the month. But this is a game that the Reds will have to take seriously.

Liverpool’s record at Anfield is very encouraging ahead of this match where the side has won 11 games from 18 and drawn 7, they are the only side in the league to remain unbeaten at home. The club have scored 41 goals at home, only Manchester City and Arsenal have more.

Brighton confirmed their Premier League status in style when they beat Manchester United 1-0 at home. It was a fantastic moment for their supporters and was probably worth season ticket admisson alone. The club are in good form and on a high but this match remains a diffcult one. Liverpool are always best inspired when they really need to have to win games, however with a draw likely to be enough, will there be a level of complacency?
