Liverpool take on Brighton & Hove Albion in a FA Cup last-32 clash, with the Reds looking to move one step closers towards winning the prestigious trophy. Given Brighton's difficulties on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Reds head into the match following 1-0 win over Sunderland. Midfielder Wataru Endo is sidelined, likely replaced by Curtis Jones, while key attacker Dominik Szoboszlai returns from suspension. At home, Liverpool are formidable, averaging 3.2 goals per game and keeping 60% clean sheets in recent outings.
Brighton travel to Liverpool in patchy form, with just one win in their last five matches, and defender Jan Paul van Hecke a major doubt. Midfielder James Milner is pushing for a start, but the Seagulls’ away form remains poor, scoring just 1.17 goals per game on the road. In their last meeting at Anfield, Brighton suffered a 2-0 loss to Liverpool, which definitely suits our betting angle.
H2H trends favor Liverpool, with 13 wins from 21 encounters and 71% of past meetings seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite Brighton’s occasional threat, Liverpool’s attacking depth and home advantage make them strong favorites to advance. Taking everything into account, Home Win should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Liverpool over 1.5.
This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday 14 February 2026 at 20:00.
