Liverpool – Premier League Form and Betting Odds

Liverpool have made a mixed start to the Premier League campaign, collecting 12 points from their opening seven matches (W3, D3, L1). However, Andoni Iraola’s side head into Sunday having won three consecutive fixtures across all competitions. Last weekend’s 2-1 victory at Brentford was followed by an entertaining 4-3 Champions League success against Villarreal on Tuesday evening.
Despite their recent improvement, the Reds are still searching for their first Premier League victory at Anfield this season (D2, L1). Liverpool have scored just twice across those three home fixtures, while their most recent league outing at the ground ended in a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Manchester City. The hosts will be hoping to put that unwanted run behind them on Sunday.
The Reds face a Brighton side enjoying an excellent start to the season, although Liverpool have won ten of their 18 Premier League encounters since Brighton’s promotion in 2017, including the last three league games here a Anfield, the hosts can be backed at 11/10 to take all three points with William Hill.

Brighton – Premier League Form and Betting Odds

Brighton have enjoyed an outstanding start to the Premier League season, collecting 16 points from their opening seven fixtures (W5, D1, L1). Fabian Hürzeler’s side sit third in the table following four consecutive league victories, including last weekend’s emphatic 5-0 success over rivals Crystal Palace. The Seagulls are also unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions.
The visitors have been particularly impressive in front of goal, scoring a league-high 23 times in their opening seven matches, with Brighton also scoring at least twice in each of their last four league victories.
The Seagulls recorded convincing victories at Coventry and Sunderland, while their only away league defeat came in a seven-goal thriller against Chelsea, they travel to Anfield off the back of a frustrating goalless draw against Jablonec on Thursday night but punters can back the visitors at 21/10 to return to the south coast with another league victory.
