Liverpool vs Brighton prediction
Due to the noise surrounding Salah’s absence, it has somewhat been lost that Liverpool secured a big result against Inter Milan.
A clean sheet should do Slot’s side the world of good. But, as seen on many occasions this season, it could be a false dawn from the reigning Premier League champions.
Anfield is no longer the fortress it once was with Liverpool failing to win any of their last three home games – losing two of them by a three-goal margin – and we think the visitors can get something here.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
The two sides met three times across all competitions last season. Liverpool won two of those, including the corresponding fixture in the Premier League where Salah inspired a comeback victory.
