Brighton vs Liverpool score prediction as Premier League game simulated

Liverpool has the chance to momentarily overtake Manchester City and move within a point of top spot in the Premier League when they take on Brighton on Sunday afternoon.

After its tough and controversial 2-1 loss against Tottenham last Sunday, Liverpool returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League. The victory saw the Reds remain on top of Group D, and Jürgen Klopp will be hoping his side can carry momentum into Sunday’s clash.

High-flyers Brighton outplayed Liverpool in the last two meetings between the two, with the Seagulls winning 3-0 at the Amex in the Premier League before picking up a 2-1 win in the FA Cup. The Reds haven’t beaten Brighton in their last three attempts, though Klopp’s side are much improved on last season.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We simulated Brighton vs Liverpool to get a score prediction.

We predict that Brighton could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Verbruggen; Veltman, Webster, Dunk, Lamptey; Groß, Gilmour; March, Welbeck, Mitoma; Ferguson.

We predict that Liverpool could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endō, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah,Núñez, Diaz.

It was an extremely open first half on the south coast, with both sides finding themselves in dangerous positions but unable to find a breakthrough. Brighton started the second half the brightest side, and they were awarded a penalty in the 56th minute.

A driven cross into the Liverpool box saw Joël Matip challenge Danny Welbeck for the ball, but the Brighton man got there ahead of the defender, with Matip tripping the leg of the Englishman. Kauro Mitoma stepped up to take, and he fired down the middle to put his side ahead.

The Reds responded fantastically to going behind, and substitute Harvey Elliott almost leveled the score when he slid in and could only turn Mohamed Salah's cross wide at the post. The pressure continued, and a deserved equalizer arrived 14 minutes from the final whistle.

Andy Robertson won back possession before finding Elliott in the middle and continuing his run forward. Elliott spotted the run of the defender and picked him out with a well-timed through ball, and Robertson took the ball in his stride before rifling his effort into the top corner to make it 1-1.

Neither side was able to find another goal in the closing stages though, and the game finished all square.
