With Manchester City playing Arsenal on Sunday, this is a good chance for Liverpool to return to the top of the Premier League.
The Reds welcome Brighton to Anfield this weekend with the Seagulls looking to put pressure on the likes of West Ham United and Manchester United who are just above them on the standings.
Reds Aiming For Top Spot
Liverpool could find themselves top of the Premier League table again if they manage to get past Brighton and Arsenal fail to win at the Etihad Stadium.
Liverpool and the Gunners are joint-top with 64 points and the Reds will be looking for a favour from City, although a draw would suit Jurgen Klopp as long as they take all three points from Brighton.
The Reds are undefeated in their last five league matches with four wins and one draw. Their last loss was against Arsenal at the start of February.
Klopp still has a few injury concerns and will probably turn to his young players once again, but they haven’t let him down yet.
Andy Robertson, Joel Matip, Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez are all expected to miss out, although the Reds will have a front three of Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo.
Seagulls Still Chasing Europe
Brighton & Hove Albion still have a slim chance of qualifying for Europe next season. Their main aim will be to reach the Europa League, although the consolation prize would be a spot in the Conference League.
Brighton are currently eighth on the ladder. They are two points behind the Hammers and five behind the Red Devils in sixth position.
Brighton’s recent league form has been up and down. They have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five matches in the Premier League.
Their last league game saw them claim a narrow 1-0 win at home to Nottingham Forest.
Billy Gilmour will definitely miss the match through suspension following his red card against Everton last month. Solly March will not play at all for the rest of the season with an ACL injury, while Jack Hinshelwood, Kaoru Mitoma and James Milner are serious doubts.
Head to Head
Liverpool and Brighton have not met a lot of times over the years. The Reds have the edge overall with 13 wins from 24 matches, although the \seagulls have had some success recently.
Brighton have not lost any of their last four matches in all competitions. They have won two - one in the FA Cup and one in the Premier League - while the other two ended in draws.
These two met at the American Express Stadium back in October with Lewis Dunk rescuing a point in a 2-2 draw.
Brighton might have won two matches recently, but they have not won at Anfield since they recorded a 1-0 victory in 2021.

Our Betting Tip for Today-
Mohamed Salah to score 2+ goals – 15/4 @ Bet365
Liverpool are odds-on favourites to claim three points against Brighton & Hove Albion. They can be backed at 4/11, while the Seagulls are on offer at 13/2 to claim only their third win at Anfield. The draw is available at 9/2.
Salah To Bag A Brace In Reds Win
If the Premier League title is to end up in the Anfield trophy cabinet at the end of the season, this game against Brighton & Hove Albion could be the catalyst.
The Reds cannot afford to be dropping points at home, but if they manage to get past Brighton they will be full of confidence that they can get the job done and win the title.
The key to winning the Premier League this season will fall down to the fitness of Salah. The Egypt international has struggled with muscle injuries since the turn of the year, but he looks to be approaching full fitness for the run-in.
Salah has scored in his last two matches in the FA Cup and Europa League, while his last goal in the Premier League was against Brentford in February in a 4-1 victory.
Salah has scored 15 goals in the Premier League this season, while he has scored two goals in a single game on four occasions.
When he is on top form, Salah is one of the best strikers in the Premier League. We expect him to be hungry on Sunday, so we are backing him to score at least two in a comfortable win.
