Premier League All competitions All competitions All competitions After winning each of their first six Premier League games against Brighton, Liverpool have now won just two of their last eight (D4 L2). They did, however, win this exact fixture 2-1 last season. Brighton have taken five points from their last four away league games against Liverpool (W1 D2 L1), more than they managed in their first 11 visits to Anfield (W1 D1 L9). Brighton have opened the scoring in each of their last four Premier League meetings with Liverpool but have only gone on to win one of these games (D2 L1). Only Arsenal (41 minutes, 48 seconds) have been behind for less time in Premier League games this season than Liverpool (75m 28s). When behind, the Reds have faced just two shots and conceded an x G of just 0. 3 per 90 – both league low figures when in said game state. Brighton have scored 16 goals from an x G of 13. 2 in the Premier League this season, netting roughly three goals more than expected. Only Leicester (13 goals, 9. 1 x G) and Wolves (12 goals, 8. 9 x G) have overperformed more. Liverpool have won seven of their nine Premier League games under Arne Slot so far (D1 L1). Victory here would see him pick up the most victories by a Liverpool manager in their first 10 top-flight games in charge of the club. Brighton have had more different goalscorers than any other side in the Premier League this season (9, excluding own goals). Danny Welbeck has scored six of these, while his next strike will see him become the Seagulls’ joint-highest goalscorer in the competition (30, level with Pascal Groß). Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has been involved in 15 goals in 14 Premier League appearances against Brighton, scoring nine and assisting six. Only against Manchester United (18) has he had a hand in more goals in the competition. With six goals and five assists, Mohamed Salah has been involved in 65% of Liverpool’s Premier League goals this season (11/17), the highest ratio of any player in the competition so far this term. Brighton’s Danny Welbeck is looking to score in four consecutive Premier League games for the first time in his career. His six goals overall is already his joint-best return in a single campaign for the Seagulls, only netting more for any side with Manchester United in 2011-12 (9) and 2013-14 (9). © 2024 BBC.
