Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield in what promises to be one of the most entertaining fixtures of the Premier League 2026/27 season. Kick-off is scheduled for 2:00pm GMT, with UK viewers able to watch on Sky Sports Premier League, US fans on Peacock at 10:00am ET, and Australian supporters on Stan Sport at midnight AEDT on Monday.

Two free-scoring sides collide

Liverpool arrive at this match in spectacular — if unconvincing — defensive form. The Reds have scored 22 goals across their last four matches, though they have also conceded ten. Their latest outing saw them recover from two goals down to defeat Villarreal 4-3 in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, a result that followed a 2-1 away win at Brentford last Saturday.

Brighton, meanwhile, are arriving at Anfield in the form of their lives. Fabian Hurzeler's side are the Premier League's highest scorers at the start of this weekend, having netted 23 goals in just seven league matches. They sit third in the table after thrashing rivals Crystal Palace 5-0 last Sunday — a result that included an extraordinary halfway-line goal from Diego Gomez — and have now won six consecutive matches across all competitions.

Brighton drew 0-0 at Czech side Jablonec in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday, though Hurzeler made eight changes to his starting XI for that match, so any dip in momentum is unlikely to carry into Sunday's trip to Merseyside.

Team news

Liverpool will be without winger Victor Munoz, who is doubtful with a knee injury. Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Dominik Szoboszlai all remain sidelined.

Brighton will make a late decision on defender Pascal Struijk's fitness. Yankuba Minteh and Mats Wieffer are both edging closer to a return from injury but may not feature.

Prediction

With both sides capable of scoring freely and Brighton's defence yet to be truly tested against a side of Liverpool's attacking quality, this match has the hallmarks of another high-scoring affair. FourFourTwo predict a 2-2 draw.
