We simulated Liverpool vs Brighton to predict score for huge Premier League clash

Liverpool can return to the top of the Premier League table with three points against Brighton and Hove Albion later today.

That's at least for a few hours with Arsenal and Manchester City going head-to-head later in the day, but a win for Liverpool is vital because if Arsenal fail to take three points, then the Reds will end the week as league leaders. Jurgen Klopp's side entered the international break on the back of late heartbreak, with the 4-3 loss against Manchester United ending the Reds' run in the FA Cup at the quarter-finals stage.

But now, all attention can turn to the Premier League and Europa League, with the Reds hosting Brighton on Sunday. Mohamed Salah scored twice in a 2-2 draw with the Seagulls earlier in the season, though recent form hasn't been on Liverpool's side, with Klopp's side without a win in their last four meetings against Brighton.
