Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion: Premier League – BBC Sport

Having won each of their first six Premier League games against Brighton, Liverpool have now won just two of their last eight (D4 L2). However, last season they won this very game 2-1.

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

Brighton have scored first in each of their last four Premier League games with Liverpool, but have won just one of those games (D2 L1).

Only Arsenal (41 minutes, 48 ​​seconds) have been shorter behind in Premier League games this season than Liverpool (75 minutes, 28 seconds). When trailing, the Reds only had two shots and conceded an xG of just 0.3 per 90 – both low figures in the league given the state of the game.

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

Liverpool have won seven of their nine Premier League games under Arne Slot so far (D1 L1). A win here would take him the most wins by a Liverpool manager in his first 10 top-flight games in charge of the club.

Brighton have had more different goalscorers than any other team in the Premier League this season (9, no own goals). Danny Welbeck has scored six of them and his next goal will make him the Seagulls' top goalscorer in the competition (30, level with Pascal Groß).

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah was involved in 15 goals in 14 Premier League games against Brighton, scoring nine and assisting six. Only against Manchester United (18) did he score more goals in the competition.

With six goals and five assists, Mohamed Salah has been involved in 65% of Liverpool's Premier League goals this season (17/11), the highest rate of any player in the competition so far this season.

Brighton's Danny Welbeck is aiming to score in four Premier League games in a row for the first time in his career. His total of six goals is already his best tally in a single season for the Seagulls, with the only times he has scored more for a team in 2011-12 (9) and 2013-14 (9) with Manchester United.
