THE LOWDOWN
BRIGHTON
Brighton's 6-1 defeat to Aston Villa last weekend was the first time they have conceded that many goals since April 2012, but such defeats are almost accepted in Brighton's fanbase given the swashbuckling style that Roberto De Zerbi has imprinted on the team.
The Seagulls were in Europa League action on Thursday, where they fought from two goals down to claim a point against French side Marseille.
LIVERPOOL
It's been an eventful week for Liverpool following the VAR controversy of last weekend's defeat to Tottenham, although Jurgen Klopp's request for a replay of that match is likely to fall on deaf ears as the debate surrounding the incident rumbles on.
Thursday's Europa League tie with Union Saint-Gilloise was a welcome distraction though, with the Reds making it two wins from two in their group thanks to a first goal for Ryan Gravenberch and a late Diogo Jota strike.
THE TEAM NEWS
BRIGHTON
Pervis Estupinan will be out of action for around a month, which should mean more gametime for Tariq Lamptey, although De Zerbi will not want to overwork the latter given his own history with injuries.
James Milner has a chance of inclusion, although the Brighton boss was coy about his chances of featuring against his former club, while Adam Lallana - another former Red - could be involved.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Steele, Veltman, Webster, Dunk, Lamptey; Gross, Gilmour; March, Welbeck, Mitoma; Ferguson
UNAVAILABLE: Estupinan (Injured), Moder (Injured), Enciso (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Milner (Injured), Lallana (Injured)
LIVERPOOL
Curtis Jones' suspension means a place in midfield is up for grabs, with Harvey Elliott, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo all candidates to start. The front three essentially picks itself in light of Diogo Jota's suspension and the injury to Cody Gakpo.
Thiago Alcantara has suffered a setback in his recovery, and no timeline has been placed on his return.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Elliott; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
UNAVAILABLE: Kelleher (Injured), Bajcetic (Injured), Thiago (Injured), Jones (Suspended), Gakpo (Injured), Jota (Suspended)

THE PREDICTION
If ever there was a match where you would think there is a near guarantee of goals, it would be this one. All of Brighton's games this season have featured plenty of goals, with their enterprising style of play guaranteeing action at both ends of the pitch, while Liverpool - no doubt stacked with attacking talent - have kept just one clean sheet in the Premier League this season. Taking these factors into account, going all out with an over 4.5 goals bet is worth considering.
TIP: OVER 4.5 GOALS
