Jurgen Klopp is offered a really rather favourable fixture in his attempts to keep up with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
Klopp’s Liverpool side travel to a Brighton team in no sort of form at all, having lost their last four on the spin.
That’s not to suggest Graham Potter’s outfit do not boast quality, as the thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield proved earlier this season, but Liverpool will surely fancy their chances of leaving the Amex Stadium with all three points.
There will, however, need to be an improvement on the performances they put out against West Ham and Inter Milan respectively if Liverpool are going to overthrow City.
Still, a win against Brighton would close the gap down to three points ahead of City’s game against Crystal Palace on Monday night, thereby ramping up the pressure.
