Liverpool will host Brighton in their third Premier League game of the season on Saturday, with both sides having momentum of recent wins on their side.
Jurgen Klopp’s men made it two wins out of two fixtures played so far following a 2-0 win away at Crystal Palace on Monday, while the Seagulls will still be riding high from their surprise 3-2 victory over Manchester United.
The Reds are the only side yet to concede a goal and will want to register an emphatic win over Brighton if they are to challenge Manchester City for the title.
