Brighton vs Liverpool Analysis
This should be a super contest at the AMEX Stadium, with both sides eager to reach the last 8.
Brighton
New manager Fabian Hürzeler has got Brighton firing on all cylinders this season and this should be another chance for this side to demonstrate their qualities. A stunning comeback win over Tottenham has been the highlight of their campaign, recovering from 2-0 down, to win 3-2, whilst they have also picked up points against Manchester United and Arsenal. A cup run is what all the Brighton fans want though, and this should be a good one against Liverpool.
Team news: Joao Pedro, Matt O’Riley, Adam Webster and Solly March will all miss out here for Brighton.
Brighton Predicted Lineup:
Steele, Igor, Dunk, Lamptey, Estupinian, Ayari, Baleba, Wieffer, Rutter, Enciso & Adringa.
Liverpool
Following an incredible start to the season, momentum is building behind the Liverpool title bid with many punters and Premier League betting sites. The reds are the Carabao Cup holders, but they also have the Champions League to manage this term, suggesting that this competition may drop to the bottom of their priority list. That said, Liverpool have a squad packed with talent and they will be eager to keep their excellent start to the campaign going.
Team news: Alisson is the major injury doubt here for Liverpool.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup:
Kelleher, Bradley, Gomes, Quansah, Tsimikas, Endo, Elliott, Jones, Gakpo, Chiesa & Nunes.
Brighton vs Liverpool Prediction
Both of these sides will see this game as a real opportunity to progress in the Carabao Cup and who knows how far they can both go. Brighton have made an excellent start to the season and are brimming with confidence but Liverpool remain a very good side and they can afford to shuffle the pack and still get the job done here against the Seagulls.
