Brighton v Liverpool – Line-ups, stats and preview

Match preview for Brighton v Liverpool

Liverpool head to the south coast on Monday night looking to steer their Premier League campaign home on a high.

Both sides have had mixed fortunes in recent weeks. Brighton impressed in last weekend’s win over Wolves, while Liverpool have dropped points in back-to-back matches, leaving them in danger of going three league games without a win for the first time all season.

For Arne Slot’s side, this is also the final away fixture of the campaign – and while they haven’t lost any of their previous six final-day trips, recent away form has been patchy, with two defeats in their last three on the road.

Brighton, on the other hand, have lost just once in their last seven home matches, and with several key players returning, Roberto De Zerbi’s side will fancy their chances of finishing strongly in front of their fans.

Team news for Brighton v Liverpool

Brighton have boosted by the return of Lewis Dunk, who missed the win over Wolves with a minor hamstring issue. Joao Pedro is also available again after serving a three-match ban, and Kaoru Mitoma could return after a month out with heel and back problems.

Liverpool have no fresh injury concerns, according to Arne Slot’s press conference on Friday. However, there remains uncertainty around whether Trent Alexander-Arnold – set to leave the club this summer – will feature in what could be his final away appearance for the Reds.
