Liverpool vs Brighton: Premier League betting tips, odds & predictions

• Liverpool expected to beat Brighton in an entertaining clash

• Florian Wirtz backed to register his first assist of the season

• Lewis Dunk tipped to pick up his 49th Premier League booking

Ahead of the huge game at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, Ladbrokes shares its top Liverpool vs Brighton betting tips and predictions, with live odds.

With the Reds picking up a morale-boosting Champions League victory against Inter Milan on Tuesday night, they return to Premier League action with the visit of Brighton, and both sides will see this as a decent opportunity to pick up a first win in three league games.

Read on to see Ladbrokes' expert Premier League Bet Builder for Liverpool vs Brighton, with both teams tipped to score in an entertaining clash.

Liverpool's 1-0 win at the San Siro was a huge step in the right direction following two disappointing draws, and the clean sheet would've been a massive boost, but another difficult Premier League game awaits them back on home turf.

Brighton know how to find the net against Liverpool, scoring in each of their last six league meetings, but the Seagulls haven't kept a clean sheet at Anfield since 2021, so history suggests there will be plenty of openings for Liverpool to hit back. The quality of forwards on the pitch will be extremely high, with the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Danny Welbeck, and Alexander Isak all still hopeful of picking up the Premier League Golden Boot - so the goalkeepers are in for a busy afternoon.

We're backing both teams to score at Anfield, as two firing frontlines meet two reasonably fragile defences.

Florian Wirtz is still yet to register a single goal contribution in the 2025/26 Premier League season, but his impact against Sunderland and his impressive Champions League performances suggest he's getting closer. The big-money signing has perhaps taken longer to adjust to England than he would've hoped, but it's only a matter of time before he really finds his feet.

Against an aggressive Brighton backline, there should be a good amount of space for the likes of Ekitike and Cody Gakpo to run into, and with Florian Wirtz providing the through balls, we think this could be the day he sets up a Liverpool teammate in the league for the first time.

Brighton have conceded five goals in their last two games, and if given the opportunity from the start, we're tipping Wirtz to pull the strings, grabbing his first Premier League assist.

After making his 500th Brighton appearance in the defeat to Villa last week, Lewis Dunk's status in Brighton folklore is more than secure - but the 34-year-old is also very familiar with the referees' cards, and we're tipping him to pick up his fifth booking of the season in this one.

Dunk rarely misses a game for the Seagulls, and is closing in on 300 Premier League appearances, but with 48 bookings to his name across nine seasons (including four already this term), he's also closing in on 50 yellow cards. Liverpool's frontline is always full of pace and trickery - two of Dunk's weaknesses - so we think the Brighton skipper could be in for a tough afternoon.

Dunk seems a smart pick in the cards market, with his front-foot defending often tripping him up, so Ladbrokes is backing a booking for the Englishman.

Bringing a close to our Liverpool vs Brighton betting tips and predictions, we're looking at the match betting market, where Liverpool are heavy favourites with the bookies. The Reds are currently on an unbeaten run of four games, which doesn't quite tell the full story of their recent draws, but we're expecting them to get the better of the Seagulls and leapfrog their visitors in the table.

Level on points heading into the match, Liverpool and Brighton will both feel they can get a positive result out of this one, and with Liverpool not winning at home for over a month, this really could go either way. Brighton's away form has also been pretty good, so we're in for a real cracker at Anfield, but we do expect Liverpool to edge it.

With or without Mo Salah, the quality on display for Liverpool should still be too strong, so we're backing the hosts.
