Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Liverpool
Following a slim 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton in the FA Cup round 3, Liverpool will look to return to winning ways when they take on Brighton in the Premier League round 20. The Reds are seven points behind the Champions League places, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for Jurgen Klopp’s troops. Both Roberto Firmino and James Milner are rated doubtful for the match, while all Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk, and Luis Diaz are out of contention with injuries.
The Seagulls, on the other hand, have been impressive in front of goal of late, with the team netting 14 goals in total in the last four league fixtures. Since van Dijk should be sorely missed in Liverpool’s back-line, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Jakub Moder remains on the sidelined with a knee injury, while Leonardo Trossard should be fit for the match.

Highlighted Team (Liverpool):
Founded back in 1892, Liverpool are one of England’s and world’s most famous clubs. The Reds hold a high-profile rivalry with Everton and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the Merseyside derby.
The Reds welcome their opponents at Anfield and it has to be noted that they have already won 18 first division trophies. Liverpool were on the verge of lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and left the Reds without a title.
Liverpool won one of their last Champions League trophy's in 2005, with the team coming from three goals behind to beat Milan in a historic clash in Istanbul. The Reds have clinched six European Cups and it is no surprise they are regarded as one of the greatest European clubs.
The likes of Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Paul Ince, Ian Rush, Graeme Souness, Sami Hyypia and Luis Suarez are some of the most notable footballers to have represented the club over the years. The club’s anthem is You’ll Never Walk Alone and their shirt colour is red.
