Liverpool began a difficult stretch of the season, which will last a month. The club has only one defeat so far. The current shape of Slot’s team is better than almost all of his Premier League opponents. Only the abundance of conceded goals is disconcerting. From the start of the season, the defense of the Reds was the best in England, and now in each of the last two matches has conceded two goals.
After the last round, Brighton is on the sixth position in the standings. Fabian Hürzelera’s team has already played with Liverpool in the League Cup, and that match turned out badly for it. Brighton dropped out of the tournament and again showed unreliability in defense, conceding three goals. In six of the last seven games, the Seagulls received at least two goals in their gates.
In the last four matches between Brighton and Liverpool there has been an exchange of goals. Both teams are playing bright, entertaining and have been attacking better than defending lately.
