Liverpool: 

Fresh off a 3-2 EFL Cup victory over Brighton, Liverpool return to Anfield in search of crucial Premier League points. The Reds, under Arne Slot, showed resilience to draw 2-2 with Arsenal last weekend, which cost them the top spot, trailing Manchester City. Cody Gakpo continued his stellar EFL Cup form, with Luis Diaz also chipping in, keeping Liverpool on track for an 11th cup title. With a packed November schedule, including Champions League showdowns against Leverkusen and Real Madrid, Liverpool need momentum in their title chase. They’ve won four straight home games, consistently finding the net, which bodes well for their return to league action.


Brighton: 

Despite a spirited showing midweek, Brighton fell to Liverpool in the EFL Cup, and they’ll now seek revenge at Anfield. The Seagulls’ high-scoring Premier League season has been a rollercoaster, epitomized by their recent 2-2 draw with Wolves, where a defensive lapse cost them a third straight win. Manager Fabian Hurzeler’s side, known for their attacking style, sit a respectable sixth with Mats Wieffer reuniting with former Feyenoord coach Slot. Brighton’s recent games have been packed with goals, though they’ve struggled defensively, conceding multiple times in their last seven outings. Maintaining their defensive focus will be key to stopping Liverpool’s dangerous attack.
