Liverpool v Brighton betting tips: Seagulls must plan for Salah

They also progressed to the League Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday after defeating Preston 2-0 at Deepdale.

The Seagulls are fifth in the table, having won four and drawn three of their nine games, and are seven points behind Chelsea following their second defeat of the season.

Brighton gave Leicester a hard League Cup battle in midweek but eventually went out on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

They are unbeaten away from the Amex, however, having won at Burnley and Brentford and taking a point at Crystal Palace and Norwich.

Brighton, who conceded four goals for the first time in 43 Premier League matches when defeated by Manchester City, shipped as many goals in that game as they had done in their last seven combined.

Graham Potter’s side are 11/1 to win at Anfield while the draw is available at 24/5.

"Their quality was fantastic… but credit to the players, they responded. Second half, I thought we were fantastic." 💬 GP on #BHAMCI. 👇

Liverpool v Brighton head-to-head

Brighton have won five of their 33 previous meetings with Liverpool, the last of those coming at Anfield with Steven Alzate’s second-half strike enough for Brighton to secure a 1-0 victory in February this year.

Having won their first six Premier League encounters with Brighton, Liverpool picked up just one point in their two clashes last season and the Seagulls are looking to land back-to-back victories against the Reds for the first time.

It is 29/10 Brighton either win or draw the game in the Double Chance market.

No less than 23 of their 33 meetings saw three goals or more in total and it is 1/2 that trend continues.

Brighton have scored in their last four meetings with the Reds and it is 23/20 they register at least once.

Liverpool v Brighton key battles

Can anyone stop Salah?

The Egyptian is in sensational form and has netted 10 Premier League goals in nine games.

Salah has also been involved in nine goals in his eight league games against Brighton (five goals, four assists).

He is 8/13 to score at any time and 11/1 to grab another hat-trick.

Perhaps the onus will fall on Sadio Mane, as he has never scored in six meetings against Albion and is 5/4 to break that duck at any stage.
