The league table runs the other way: Liverpool are fifth on 12 points, Brighton third on 16, a goal difference of +18 against the Reds’ +1. The game, scheduled for Saturday, was moved to Sunday after Brighton qualified for the Conference League. Anfield hosts the third-placed side in the league, and it is not Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Both teams win almost everywhere. Brighton beat Crystal Palace 5-0, Arsenal 3-0, Sunderland 2-0, Kauno \u017dalgiris 4-0; on Thursday night they let a 0-0 slip away at Jablonec. Liverpool beat Villarreal 4-3, Brentford 2-1, Lask 6-3; the 0-3 against Manchester City on 11 October remains the exception in the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Both sides win everywhere, but the legs differ<\/h2>\n

Liverpool played Villarreal at Anfield on Tuesday; Brighton played in Czechia on Thursday. Five days of rest on one side, three and a trip on the other. Andoni Iraola knows it: in his press conference he pointed out that Liverpool have not won any of their three home league games<\/a> this season, and that his team will have to \u201cplay at their very best\u201d. A Conference League side travelling to Anfield three days later: that is the mechanism of this match, before any names.<\/p>\n

The men who run both blocks<\/h2>\n

For Brighton<\/a>, Kostoulas is on three goals and two assists over the run. For Liverpool, Isak already has five goals, and Wirtz twenty chances created. Both coaches have the players to win this match high up the pitch; what both lack are complete wings.<\/p>\n
