Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion Preview

Liverpool welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Anfield on Saturday 13th December 2025 for a Premier League encounter that sees the Reds looking to build on recent momentum against a Brighton side navigating mixed form. Both teams arrive with identical records from their last five matches, each collecting two wins, two draws, and one defeat, setting up an intriguing tactical battle on Merseyside.

Liverpool’s most recent outing saw them claim a crucial 1-0 victory away to Internazionale in the Champions League on 9th December. Prior to that, they drew 3-3 away at Leeds United on 6th December. Earlier in this sequence, they drew 1-1 at home against Sunderland on 3rd December and secured a 2-0 away win at West Ham United on 30th November. Their only defeat in this run came in a 4-1 home loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on 26th November. The Reds have shown resilience across competitions but will be eager to convert their Champions League confidence into domestic points.

Brighton’s form presents a contrasting picture. Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw at home to West Ham United on 7th December. Prior to that, they suffered a 4-3 home defeat to Aston Villa on 3rd December. Earlier in this sequence, they secured back-to-back victories, winning 2-0 away at Nottingham Forest on 30th November and 2-1 at home to Brentford on 22nd November. They also drew 0-0 away at Crystal Palace on 9th November. The Seagulls have demonstrated attacking quality but defensive vulnerabilities have cost them valuable points.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Liverpool, who have won three of the last five meetings, with one draw and one Brighton victory. Most recently, Brighton claimed a memorable 3-2 home win in May 2025, while Liverpool won 2-1 in a home victory in November 2024 and a 3-2 away win in October 2024.
