Liverpool will defeat Brighton and Hove Albion in a thrilling match this afternoon, according to both Paul Merson and Chris Sutton, who believe they will do so to avenge their Premier League loss to Tottenham Hotspur last week. Up until last Saturday, Liverpool had not lost in any competition. Following Manchester City’s gaffe at Wolverhampton Wanderers, they had the chance to continue that streak and take the league lead, but hopes were dashed when a goal by Luis Diaz that had been incorrectly disallowed cost them at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The team led by Jurgen Klopp rallied to defeat Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League midweek, but before the break another challenging away test awaits in the form of fellow high flyers Brighton. Last season, Liverpool made three attempts to defeat their opponents but were unsuccessful on all three occasions, drawing at Anfield and dropping both league and FA Cup games twice at the AMEX.
Three times last season, Liverpool failed to defeat their opponents, drawing once at Anfield and losing twice at the AMEX in league and FA Cup play. But if you ask the pundits who will triumph today, there is no doubt in their minds. — the Reds. Merson began his discussion of the meeting in his weekly predictions for Sportskeeda with remarks about the game against Spurs that he would later repeat in a contentious debate with Mike Dean on Soccer Saturday. The Arsenal legend said, “At the moment, the rules in the Premier League effectively say that if someone makes a mistake, don’t correct it and get on with the game. Common sense is not as common as we think it is, so change the rule.
No one will perish if you break the rule while the game is still going on. The game could have been stopped if the officials felt they had made a mistake. No Tottenham supporter could have complained about it, so show it on your large screens and announce the goal. The objective was miles away and was clear. “. Finally, he predicted that Liverpool would triumph 3-1 at the AMEX, saying, “Brighton are one of those teams that are very dangerous when the pressure isn’t on them. Prior to getting utterly destroyed by Aston Villa, they were under pressure and thinking about finishing in the top four. If Brighton can defeat this Liverpool team, I will be shocked.
Liverpool is a very good team, and they are better than most people realize. It wasn’t just VAR that made them extremely unlucky the previous week. There will be plenty of goals in this open football match, but I don’t see how Brighton’s defense can hold up against Jurgen Klopp’s team. Liverpool should be able to defeat Brighton because they have more offensive firepower than Aston Villa. “. In his prediction for BBC Sport, Sutton expressed a similar viewpoint when speaking about the subject. The Premier League champion predicted a close but still high-scoring match and predicted Reds 3-2. He started by sharing his own thoughts on Klopp’s request for a replay against Tottenham. I like Reds manager Jurgen Klopp, but if that happened, it would make football into a complete farce, the legendary Blackburn Rovers player joked. “If the Reds don’t win this game then I suppose they will want a replay, won’t they?”. Everybody would demand a replay of every game if a controversial decision had been made that they disagreed with. Naturally, they were unfortunate against Tottenham, and it was a terrible call to overturn Luis Diaz’s goal, but Liverpool must take some of the blame for Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota’s red cards as well.
I find it extremely puzzling that they decided to contest Jones’ dismissal. Brighton defeated Liverpool twice at the Amex Stadium in the previous campaign—3-0 in the league and 2-1 in the FA Cup. However, this Liverpool team is different, particularly in the middle of the field. I envision Alexis Mac Allister winning the game and shining on his familiar turf. “. KSI, real name Olajide Olatunji, who called the 4-3 thriller and Tommy Fury, who agreed with Sutton’s 3-2 decision, were the two celebrity guests competing against Sutton.
