Liverpool vs Brighton Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Seagulls came out on top when these sides last met.

Liverpool FC are now gearing up to take on Brighton & Hove Albion for their matchweek 16 of the 2025-26 English Premier League. This is going to be an interesting contest to look at, which will take place at Anfield.

The Reds will now be looking to come back to winning ways in the English Football top division. They secured a win against Inter Milan in their previous UCL encounter. The Arne Slot-led Liverpool FC are not in their best form, but are going to be at home for their next outing and it is going to keep them confident.

Brighton & Hove Albion have failed to secure a win in their last two matches. They were held to a 1-1 draw against West Ham United in their previous English Premier League match after scoring a late equaliser. For a win in their upcoming fixture, they need to put up quite a show.

Georginio Rutter (Brighton)

Georginio Rutter is going to play a crucial role for the Seagulls, both in the midfield and the attacking front. He scored a last-minute equaliser for Brighton to help them secure a draw against the Hammers. Rutter will be looking to put in top efforts, which can turn out to be helpful for the visitors.
