Liverpool traditionally feel comfortable against Brighton: four wins in their last five matches, including a convincing 2-0 victory in December. Despite defensive losses, Sloth's attack has been exemplary, scoring 14 goals in their last six matches. The team has played with a special spirit at Anfield in the Cup.
Brighton are currently underperforming, with two draws and three defeats, and the Seagulls have only picked up points at home. They have plenty of possession, but lack depth up front. In head-to-head encounters, the Seagulls consistently concede at least twice to Liverpool and rarely challenge top-tier opponents in the playoffs.
Their depth and cup mentality make the hosts the clear favorites today.
