Brighton vs Liverpool

Liverpool have lost a Premier League game having led at half time for the first time since December 2016 (a 4-3 loss at Bournemouth), ending their run of 156 games without defeat when leading at the break (W142 D14).

This was the first time Liverpool have lost a Premier League game in which they had taken the lead on two separate occasions since April 2004 vs Arsenal (4-2).

Liverpool became just the third side in Premier League history to score in 100% of their away games in a single season after both Arsenal and Manchester United did so in 2001-02. Liverpool have now scored in each of their last 21 away top-flight matches, a new club record for the Reds.

Having lost four of their first five Premier League home games against Liverpool (D1), Brighton are now unbeaten in their last two against the Reds at the Amex Stadium in the competition.

Liverpool have won their last two Premier League games against Brighton, having won just one of their previous seven against the Seagulls beforehand (D4 L2).

A goal in this match will see Liverpool become only the ninth side to score in 100% of their away games in an English top-flight season (something the Reds have never achieved in any league season before), and only the fourth to do so in a league with at least 20 teams in it, after both Arsenal and Manchester United in 2001-02 (19 games), and Arsenal in 1930-31 (21 games).

Brighton lost 2-0 to Manchester United in their final home league game of 2023-24, but haven’t done so in consecutive campaigns since a run of three between 2005-06 and 2007-08.

Liverpool haven’t lost their final away league game in any of the last six campaigns (W4 D2) since a 1-0 loss to Chelsea in 2017-18. Their last two have seen 14 goals scored in total – a 4-4 draw with Southampton in 2022-23 and a 3-3 stalemate with Aston Villa last season.
