Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming clash between Brighton and Liverpool.
The Seagulls are currently sitting in 8th place in the Premier League table with 27 points. The Reds, meanwhile, are in 7th place 27 points.
The two sides are set to face each other in the domestic top tier on January 14, 2023. Ahead of the meeting, Merson shared his thoughts. According to the pundit, the teams will share points at Falmer Stadium.
"The one thing you can be sure about with this game is goals. Arsenal blew Brighton out of the water last week, but Brighton have won their games by 4-1 and 5-1 margins since then. They're scoring goals for fun," Merson said on Sportskeeda.
"Liverpool still have a shot at the top four, but they're eight points behind Newcastle at the moment. We haven't played as many games as we usually play in the Premier League because of the World Cup, and we'll know more about their top-four chances by the end of February.
"Liverpool won't be the same without Virgil van Dijk in the side. He's their Rolls Royce. This is a major game for Liverpool, and I don't see Brighton losing this game. I'm going to go with a draw, and I'm being kind to Liverpool here."
Paul Merson's prediction: Brighton 2-2 Liverpool
