Football fans, get ready for an exciting match at Anfield as Liverpool and Brighton squared off in a Premier League match that tested willpower and skill.

Liverpool:

The match between leaders Arsenal and third-place Manchester City later on Sunday could prove to be crucial in the title fight. Prior to that match, though, Liverpool will try to maintain their own title challenge at a place where they are quite strong: Anfield is where they have won 11 of their 14 Premier League games this season and have not lost at home, which is the best record in the division. But before the international break, Liverpool lost the FA Cup to rival Manchester United 4-3 due to an extra-time goal from Amad Diallo, causing them to experience late heartbreak.

Brighton:

Brighton's recent problems in the Premier League have partly derailed their European charge. They have only won three of their past nine games, leaving them six points behind sixth-place United going into this match. But a surprise victory here would propel the Seagulls over West Ham into seventh place, and that ought to provide them the boost they need to recover from losing to Roma over two legs in the Europa League just before the international break.
