Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Liverpool vs Brighton in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Liverpool vs Brighton
• Date: Saturday, 13 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Anfield

Liverpool's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but they've shown they can still put up a fight, especially with that 3-3 draw against Leeds. With a strong lineup featuring the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Florian Wirtz, they'll be looking to capitalise on their home advantage. Brighton, on the other hand, have been fairly consistent, with a mix of wins and draws, but their last match against West Ham showed they can be vulnerable. This game could be tight, but Liverpool's attacking flair might just edge them ahead.

Liverpool's recent form has been a mixed bag, with two draws, a win, and two losses in their last five games. The 3-3 draw against Leeds away from home shows they can still find the net, but the heavy defeats to Nottingham Forest at home and Manchester City away will be a concern. Despite these setbacks, the win against West Ham on the road suggests they have the resilience to bounce back, which could give them the confidence they need going into this match.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 3-3 vs Leeds (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Sunderland (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs West Ham (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Nottingham Forest (H)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Manchester City (A)

Brighton have had a decent run of form, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five games. The 1-1 draw against West Ham at home and the 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace away show they can hold their own against tough opponents. However, the 3-4 loss to Aston Villa at home indicates they can be prone to conceding goals. Their recent wins against Nottingham Forest and Brentford will give them some momentum heading into this fixture.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 1-1 vs West Ham (H)
• Loss: 3-4 vs Aston Villa (H)
• Win: 2-0 vs Nottingham Forest (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Brentford (H)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Crystal Palace (A)

Liverpool are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Alisson in goal and a solid backline of Bradley, Konaté, van Dijk, and Kerkez. The midfield trio of Gravenberch, Jones, and Szoboszlai will look to control the game, while Wirtz and Gakpo provide creativity behind the lone striker Ekitiké.

• Predicted lineup: Verbruggen (GK), Wieffer (DF), Dunk (DF), van Hecke (DF), De Cuyper (DF), Baleba (MF), Gómez (MF), Minteh (MF), Rutter (MF), Kadıoğlu (MF), Welbeck (AT)

Brighton will likely deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Verbruggen between the posts and a defensive line of Wieffer, van Hecke, Dunk, and De Cuyper. The midfield will be anchored by Baleba and Gómez, with Minteh, Rutter, and Kadıoğlu providing support to the lone striker Welbeck.

• Hugo Ekitiké vs Jan Paul van Hecke: Ekitiké's pace and finishing will be tested against van Hecke's defensive solidity.

• Ryan Gravenberch vs Carlos Baleba : Gravenberch's control in midfield will be crucial against Baleba's versatility.

• Florian Wirtz (Liverpool): Wirtz's creativity and vision will be key to unlocking Brighton's defence.

• Yankuba Minteh (Brighton): Minteh's dynamism and ability to create chances will be vital for Brighton's attack.
