Liverpool head down to the South Coast on Sunday in search of some revenge.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were embarrassed by Brighton at the AMEX a fortnight or so ago, with Roberto De Zerbi’s side securing a comprehensive 3-0 win in the Premier League clash, but the FA Cup fourth round tie gives them a chance to restore some pride.

They’re the current holders, having beaten Chelsea in last year’s final at Wembley, but required a replay to edge past Wolves in the last round and have endured a difficult start to 2023.

Brighton, on the other hand, have won three of their four games in the new year and given some of their big-name scalps this season – with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Man Utd all on that list – will fancy their chances of an FA Cup run.

They blew Middlesbrough away in the third round, beating the Championship side 5-1, but could really establish themselves as a threat by knocking out the 2021/22 winners.

Brighton v Liverpool prediction

It’s only a fortnight since Liverpool fell to an eye-catching defeat at the AMEX and they’re back there on Sunday hoping for some revenge.

You have to feel that Jurgen Klopp will do all he can to ensure his side aren’t opened up like they were on the last visit and they did look much-improved defensively against Chelsea last weekend.

That said, Brighton are playing with a real swagger at the moment and the FA Cup offers them a fantastic opportunity.

The likes of Solly March and Kaoru Mitoma might not be allowed to have quite as much joy this time but the Seagulls may still make it to the fifth round.
