They will be tested away from home on Saturday when they visit the English south coast to take on Brighton and Hove Albion. The Seagulls trucked Everton 4-1 in the league and then beat Middlesbrough 5-1 in the FA Cup as they continue their elite goal scoring form under new manager Roberto De Zerbi. Brighton’s willingness to take chances in possession, bait the opponent to press them and then play directly in behind into space should make this a high-event match with plenty of chances at both ends of the pitch. Given Liverpool’s defensive struggles and injury situation, Brighton are undervalued as this match should be closer to a tossup. Brighton Still Firing Offensively Brighton hired De Zerbi to replace the departing Graham Potter in early October. The Seagulls have averaged 1.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has set up the Reds to press as high as any team in the world, and that will lead to some high Brighton turnovers but also lead to space for Kauro Mitoma and the Seagulls to run at the Reds’ vulnerable back line. Mitoma is third in successful dribbles per 90 completed amongst all Premier League players with at least five 90s played. His elite ball-carrying ability was on full display in the loss to Arsenal and win against Everton. Even though the Seagulls are unlikely to have Leandro Trossard available for this match, the attack works so well because of the established system. The Seagulls rank third in the league in penalty box touches and fifth in passes into the penalty area.
Darwin Nunez is questionable and seems to be trending toward out on Saturday too. Brighton aren’t nearly as good on set pieces as Brentford, but the Seagulls are arguably even better at holding possession under pressure. They have a better midfield and can cause more problems up the Liverpool right than Brentford did on Monday. Brighton and Hove Albion vs. Liverpool Pick The Seagulls should find plenty of success up the Liverpool right with Mitoma and Solly March running at the defensively inconsistent Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Brentford exposed all of those weaknesses. They scored in transition, from a set piece and a cross. The Reds were unfortunate to not score more themselves and the attack remains mostly fine, but Liverpool’s defense is showing no sign of improvement. The Reds added Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven — he’s a good player but not a superstar by any stretch — but the injuries around the squad are mounting. Roberto Firmino, Luis Diaz, Virgil van Dijk and Diogo Jota are all out.
