Liverpool hosts Brighton & Hove Albion in round 22 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 3rd at Anfield (Liverpool)
After a good first third of the tournament distance, Liverpool experienced a decline in the Premier League. And the Reds have dropped to the third line of the standings after a whole segment of matches without victories. Many experts began to talk about the stagnation in Klopp's team and argued that it needed fresh blood. In fact, the team mechanism is a very delicate process, which is very easy to break. Liverpool's squad continues to be one of the best in European football, but after Van Dijk's injury, the team's tactical formations have been disrupted. Nevertheless, the Reds managed to brace up and gained two confident victories in the last rounds (over Tottenham and West Ham on the road).

The Seagulls have managed to avoid a direct struggle for survival for a few seasons. Now Graham Potter's charges are in 17th place in the standings, outranking the relegation zone by seven points. The level of expectations from Brighton is low, but the club should not leave the elite since its squad has acquired muscles due to the players’ experience and competent point selection. In the winter, Brighton gave Matthew Ryan to Arsenal (on loan). The young Spaniard Robert Sanchez is replacing the experienced goalkeeper. Jakub Moder, who spent the first half of the season in his native Lech, also joined the team. The leaders of Brighton are in good shape (L. Dunk, Lamptey, Bissouma, Maupay, Trossard, and White).
Considering the small decline of Klopp's charges, an easy match is not expected for them. But the Reds started winning, and it will restore the team's confidence in their abilities. Brighton will try to use its favorite counter-attacking style, creating a powerful middle block at the expense of mobile central midfielders. Nevertheless, the hosts will probably gain a confident victory.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.0 handicap
