Liverpool vs Brighton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-11-01 15:00.
[p]Arne Slot might be mesmerised by the competitive nature of the Premier League, as despite Liverpool’s exceptional start to the campaign (W7, D1, L1), their 2-2 draw against fellow title challengers Arsenal saw them relinquish top spot to the unbeaten Manchester City.  Nonetheless, the Dutchman has broken all sorts of records at the beginning of his tenure, and getting back to winning ways here will see another record fall, as he could become the first Liverpool manager to win eight of his first ten top-flight games in charge.[/p]
[p]He faces a tricky test in that endeavour as his side host the in-form Brighton, although Slot would’ve had a good look at them considering the pair also faced off in the EFL Cup in the week. The Reds narrowly won last season’s corresponding league fixture 2-1, but they’ll be on high alert here, since they were victorious in just one of the eight H2Hs before that (D4, L3). [/p]
[p]Brighton have made it exceptionally difficult for Liverpool recently, having scored first in each of the last four Premier League encounters (W1, D2, L1). Another fast start will be most welcome for manager Fabian Hürzeler, as he aims to improve his high-flying Seagulls’ position of sixth in the table in his first season in charge. [/p]
[p]Despite their positive start to the campaign, Brighton will feel that they should be at least two points better off after conceding in the 88th and 93rd minutes to draw 2-2 against Wolves last weekend. While it will only add insult to injury, they did form part of history with that result though, as it was one of the five Premier League games from the weekend to have result-altering goals scored in the 90th minute or later, the most seen in one matchday in the competition’s history. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mohamed Salah netted home and away against Brighton last season, taking his tally of goal involvements against the Seagulls to 15 in 14 league encounters against them (G9, A6). Looking to similarly steal the headlines will be Danny Welbeck, who thanks to scoring in his last three league games is now just one strike away from becoming Brighton’s joint-top Premier League scorer on 30.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only once in the last nine league H2Hs has the home side led at half-time.[/p]
