Liverpool look to shoot down the Seagulls

2019/20 Premier League

Round 14

30 November – 1 December 2019

Liverpool will be heavy favourites to claim all three points when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield on Saturday 30 November 2019, kick-off at 17:00 CAT. The match is one of 10 across the weekend for the 14^th round of the Premier League season.

Liverpool kept up their incredible run of form this season with a 2-1 win away to Crystal Palace in their last league outing. Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino ensured the Reds claimed all three points despite the absence of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah.

"We are not out there to show we invented football. We have a job to do to get results. We did that again,” said manager Jurgen Klopp, who side are now unbeaten in 30 Premier League matches.

"I have no problem that we were not brilliant [against Crystal Palace]. You just have to make sure you are ready to fight for the result and we were that from the first minute.”

Brighton come into the match on the back of a 2-0 defeat against second-placed Leicester City last weekend, with manager Graham Potter admitting that the Foxes were simply the better team.
