Brighton vs Liverpool betting preview
A week on from the VAR controversy which rocked the Premier League, focus should be on the football at the Amex Stadium on Sunday.
The game certainly promises much in terms of entertainement.
In the Premier League, Brighton’s matches are averaging close to five goals per game, while over 3.5 goals has landed in nine of their 10 games in all competitions.
Liverpool are no strangers to goals either with both teams to score delivering in six of their seven in the league.
The Reds’ attack remains one of the most feared in the league, albeit both Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota will be missing here. That said, Darwin Nunez, Mo Salah and Luis Diaz is argubaly their best front three and the trio should prove a real handful for a home defence which conceded six at Villa Park last weekend.
Both sides must deal with the quick turnaround after Thursday night, Europa League football but Liverpool are much more used to dealing with the European/domestic issue and it was notable that Brighton fielded close to their regular team in Marseille.
That could well play into Liverpool’s hands here with an away win and both teams to score headlining our selections for this televised game.

Brighton vs Liverpool best bets
Liverpool to win and both teams to score
Both teams to score has landed in every game Brighton have played in the league this season and six out of seven for Liverpool.
As boss Roberto de Zerbi has amditted, his side aren’t enjoying their best spell with the Seagulls suffering a 6-1 pasting at Aston Villa last week.
Liverpool’s forward line is one of the best in the top flight and can pick more holes in that defence, one now shorn of regular left-back Pervis Estupinan, and win this game at a decent price.
⚽ Back Liverpool to win and BTTS at 23/10 at Spreadex ⚽
Lewis Dunk 2+ shots
A priced-based value play.
Dunk has landed this in four of his eight Brighton starts this season, including three of four home league games.
The 6ft 4in centre-back is their main set-piece threat and Brighton are a team who do win plenty of corners (they are averaging eight per game at home this season).
1+ shot is definitely worth considering at 5/6 but 2+ at 4/1 looks worth chancing.
⚽ Bet on Dunk 2+ shots at 4/1 at bet365 ⚽
Mo Salah anytime assist
Salah has six assists in 12 previous Premier League appearances against Brighton.
He also has four in seven games so far this season.
Brighton shipped six goals last weekend and two more in Marseille on Thursday night, while Liverpool have scored 2+ in eight of their 10 games this season – it would have been nine but for a shambolic VAR last week.
In short, there’s a strong case for a Salah assist in this contest.
⚽ Back Salah to assist at 11/4 at William Hill ⚽
