Liverpool vs Brighton

Liverpool have now won eight of their 10 Premier League games under Arne Slot (D1 L1), the most ever by a Reds manager in his first 10 top-flight matches in charge of the club.

This was only the second time since the start of 2021-22 that Brighton lost a Premier League match in which they led at half-time in 40 such instances (W30 D8), alongside a 1-2 defeat to Tottenham in February last season.

There were just 128 seconds between Liverpool’s equaliser through Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah’s goal to put the Reds 2-1 ahead against Brighton.

After winning each of their first six Premier League games against Brighton, Liverpool have now won just two of their last eight (D4 L2). They did, however, win this exact fixture 2-1 last season.

Brighton have taken five points from their last four away league games against Liverpool (W1 D2 L1), more than they managed in their first 11 visits to Anfield (W1 D1 L9).

Brighton have opened the scoring in each of their last four Premier League meetings with Liverpool but have only gone on to win one of these games (D2 L1).

Only Arsenal (41 minutes, 48 seconds) have been behind for less time in Premier League games this season than Liverpool (75m 28s). When behind, the Reds have faced just two shots and conceded an xG of just 0.3 per 90 – both league low figures when in said game state.

Brighton have scored 16 goals from an xG of 13.2 in the Premier League this season, netting roughly three goals more than expected. Only Leicester (13 goals, 9.1 xG) and Wolves (12 goals, 8.9 xG) have overperformed more.
