Paul Merson, a former player for Arsenal, believes Liverpool will defeat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 and return to Anfield with all three points.
On Sunday, October 8, Liverpool will travel to Brighton for their Premier League Matchday 8 matchup at the Amex Stadium. The Merseysiders enter the match after defeating Union Saint-Gilloise FC 2-0 in the Europa League. In contrast, Marseille held Brighton to a 2-2 draw during their Europa League Matchday 2 encounter.
In their most recent Premier League match, both teams suffered defeats. VAR made a mistaken offside call against Jurgen Klopp’s team, who went on to lose to Tottenham Hotspur 2-1. Brighton, on the other side, suffered a humiliating 6-1 loss after being completely outmatched by Aston Villa.
Merson believes Liverpool will win easily.
