It will be difficult for Liverpool FC to defend their title this season. Compared to last season, when the Reds dominated the league at will, the first half of the season has been mixed. As third in the table, the team around head coach Jürgen Klopp starts as a pursuer in the second half of the season.
Currently, the gap to the leaders from Manchester is only four points, but the Citizens still have one game less in the account. It is, therefore, all the more important for the Reds to further expand the current winning streak. The home game against the Seagulls is on Wednesday evening at Anfield Road.
Most recently, Liverpool had three wins in a row at Anfield Road in the Premier League. If a victory is also missed in the upcoming home game, there would be four home games in a row without a win since October 2012.
Liverpool – Statistics & Current Form
Even after two wins in a row, Liverpool remains under pressure to win in the Premier League. As a pursuer, the Reds are currently lurking for point losses of the two title competitors from Manchester. After five consecutive games without a win, the last two game days in the Premier League were still balm for the soul of the ailing LFC.
After all, the away games at West Ham and Tottenham weren’t exactly the easiest hurdles to overcome. The LFC offensive, which was rather harmless recently, scored six goals in both games. Jürgen Klopp and his protégés now want to underpin this form on Anfield Road and, above all, end the ongoing homecoming.
In the legendary home ground, Liverpool last won the Premier League three times in a row, including the most recent home defeat against Burnley FC. Thus there was a defeat at Anfield Road for the Reds in the Premier League for the first time after a series of 68 home games.
Overcoming frustration against the Seagulls?
Before the most recent negative run at Anfield, Liverpool had seven home wins in a row in the current Premier League season. A total of 20 goals were scored, an average of almost three goals per game. In the last two home games, the strong LFC offensive presented itself rather harmless, neither against Burnley nor against Manchester United was a goal scored.
It is quite possible that after the strong offensive performances on the last two game days, the knot in the attacking department will also burst on Anfield. On Wednesday evening Jürgen Klopp is expected to have eight failures against the guests from Brighton. There is still a big question mark behind the stakes of players like Mane, Keita and Tavares.
Klopp has never lost two home games in a row with his team as a coach since October 2014. If the LFC coach continues the series and wins the upcoming home game against the Seagulls with his protected, reasonable odds for a tip on the Reds will be paid out at Liverpool vs. Brighton.

The table 17 remained. the Premier League for the third time in a row without conceding a goal – only for the second time in the club’s history mind you. Away from home, Potter wants to build on his team’s latest momentum and win a competitive game against Liverpool for the first time since January 1984.

In the seven seasons in the English House of Lords, Brighton had seven away games in seven away games against the defending champions in the Premier League. 19 goals were conceded – an average of 2.71 goals per game.
