Comments on Brighton - Liverpool match in Carabao Cup

    An An |

    Football commentary on the Brighton - Liverpool match in the Carabao Cup round of 16 in the 2024-2025 season.

    Overview

    Brighton have made a promising start under new manager Fabian Hurzeler, who replaced Roberto De Zerbi. The Seagulls currently have 16 points from nine games and are currently sixth in the Premier League.

    In addition to Hurzeler's talent, Brighton also benefited from not having to compete in European competitions. They can completely focus on a single tournament and bring back better results than the 11th place last season.

    Liverpool have also had a perfect start under new manager Arne Slot, with the exception of a defeat to Nottingham Forest, remaining unbeaten in all their remaining matches.

    A 2-2 draw with Arsenal ended Liverpool's run of eight consecutive wins, but that wasn't necessarily a bad result considering the Reds had to travel to the Emirates.

    However, the Reds face a tough fixture list in November and early December, including back-to-back games against Brighton in the Carabao Cup and Premier League. A win and limited injuries will be the outcome Liverpool need to aim for in this clash.

    Brighton have only emerged in the Premier League in recent years so since they first met in the FA Cup in 1908, there have not been many meetings between the two sides.

    There have been just 40 competitive meetings between Liverpool and Brighton, with 21 wins for the Reds. However, the Anfield side have only won two of their last nine meetings in all competitions.

    Human resources situation

    Liverpool's injury situation remains largely unchanged, with Harvey Elliott, Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota all expected to miss the game. Federico Chiesa and Conor Bradley are also doubtful.

    On the other side of the front line, Brighton received good news when Danny Welbeck was eligible to play after a back injury.

    Expected lineup:

    Brighton: Steele, Lamptey, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan, Adingra, Baleba, Wieffer, Mitoma, Enciso, Ferguson.

    Liverpool: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Quansah, Tsimikas, Endo, Gravenberch, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Nunez.

    The match between Brighton and Liverpool takes place at 2:30 a.m. on October 31 (Vietnam time).
