Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming clash between Brighton and Liverpool.
The Seagulls are currently sitting in 6h place on the Premier League table following their five wins and two defeats in the domestic top tier. Meanwhile, the Reds are 4th on the table, having recorded five wins, one draw and one defeat.
The two sides will be determined to have a successful clash when they face off against each other on October 8, Sunday, 2023. Ahead of the game, Merson has predicted the result, backing Jurgen Klopp's team to be the winners with a score of 3 - 1.
"Brighton are one of those teams that are very dangerous when the pressure isn't on them. They were thinking about a top-four place the other day and the pressure was on before they got absolutely slaughtered by Aston Villa. I'd be shocked if Brighton are able to beat this Liverpool team," he wrote on Spotskeeda.
"Liverpool are a very good team - they're better than what people think they are. They were bang unlucky last week, and it wasn't only because of VAR. This will be an open football game with a lot of goals, but I don't see how Brighton's defence can live with Jurgen Klopp's side. Liverpool have got more firepower than Aston Villa and should be able to beat Brighton."
