Liverpool will host Brighton in one of two all-English Premier League ties in the 2025/26 FA Cup fourth round.

The hosts return to Anfield after becoming the first side to defeat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light this season. How it’s taken this long, I don’t know.

Anyway, that result saw Liverpool remain sixth in the Premier League table and claim their second win from three league matches, following a run of four consecutive draws.

They take a break from pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification to take on a side who have won only two of their last 14 matches.

Brighton are winless from their last five Premier League games since their win away to Manchester United in the last round of this competition.

They are in freefall with manager Fabian Hurzeler under huge pressure, and he could yet be the third manager sacked this week, following Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche, in the queue for the job centre.

What are the best bets for Liverpool vs Brighton?

Game to end in draw, Under 2.5 goals in 90 minutes

Brighton matches don’t tend to entertain the neutral, given that six of their last seven Premier League matches have featured two goals or fewer.

By contrast, Liverpool have netted 18 goals across their last six competitive matches, meaning that one of these records is bound to falter.

Liverpool’s priority will be qualifying for the Champions League, whilst for Brighton, this match is very much a free hit.

They aren’t going to go down, and they likely won’t challenge for European football, meaning that winning this competition could be their one remaining route into a continental cup.

I’d back the draw and under 2.5 goals in 90 minutes; make up your own as to how extra time and penalties might look.
