Brighton vs Liverpool Match Preview

FA Cup matches will be played this weekend in England and one of these matches will be the one between Brighton and Liverpool.

Brighton is playing excellently this season. They are in 6th place ahead of teams like Chelsea and Liverpool in the Premier League. They changed their coach this season as Potter left for Chelsea and they signed De Zerbi. Under De Zerbi they continued to play their excellent football, maybe even better now, and they have great results both in Premier League and in the FA cup where they are going to have a tough task here against Liverpool.

Liverpool is having a bad season but still, they have solid chances to win a Champions League spot for the next season via Premier League. They are still in the Champions League competition and they are also going to play a cup match here to advance to the quarter-finals. In the Premier League, they are in 9th place having 10 points less than 4th place and with one game in hand. They have a lot of injured players (Firmino, Nunez, Van Dijk, and Jota) and after getting some of them back they will definitely play better.

These two teams played at this stadium 15 days ago and Brighton demolished Liverpool winning that match 3-0. Liverpool looked really poor in that match but I don't believe they can be that bad again. Usually, Klopp doesn't like to field his best players in cup games but they had enough rest and I believe that in this one Liverpool will play with its best 11.
