Liverpool v Brighton betting tips, odds is 2.80

Jurgen Klopp will be delighted to see his team get back to winning ways with impressive wins at Spurs and West Ham. They’ll be hoping to build on that with another win here before a crunch clash with Manchester City to come at the weekend.

  • Brighton have done little to hurt the Reds historically, losing 12 and winning just 1 of 17 meetings with Liverpool.
  • Nevertheless, the Seagulls managed to hold the reigning champions to a 1-1 draw when the two teams met each other in the first half of the season in Falmer.
  • Interestingly, each of the last three head to head contests have seen goals scored at both ends.
  • Liverpool are unbeaten in 12 meetings with Brighton in all competitions (W10 D2), since a 0-2 FA Cup defeat in January 1984.
  • Brighton have lost eight of their last nine away league games against Liverpool, winning the other 1-0 in March 1982.
  • Liverpool’s 68-game unbeaten home run in the Premier League ended at the hands of Burnley last time out. The Reds haven’t lost consecutive home league games since September 2012 (vs Arsenal and Manchester United).
  • Liverpool haven’t failed to score in three consecutive home league games since October 1984 under Joe Fagan. The only reigning Premier League champion to fail to score in three home league games in a row was Man Utd in their final three home games of 2001/02.
  • Jürgen Klopp hasn’t lost consecutive home league matches as a manager since October 2014 when he was Borussia Dortmund boss, losing to Hamburger SV and Hannover 96.

Leicester v Brighton betting tips, odds is 2.38

After a run of three defeats from four winless outings, Leicester have gotten back on track with victories over Sheffield Utd and AEK Athens.

Jamie Vardy’s late strike against the former keeps them just three points adrift of league leaders Tottenham, while the latter result ensured the Foxes took top spot in their Europa League group with a perfect home record.

Brighton are creating chances and even if they lack a top predator to tuck chances away with ruthless efficiency, they can still grab a goal here. Both teams have scored in eight of their last nine league games, though they remain too open at the back.

  • 2nd placed Leicester won eight of their last 10 Premier League fixtures.
  • Brighton should provide a stiff test for the Foxes having won three on the spin at home.
  • The Seagulls registered in all but one of their six Premier League home matches since the summer.
  • Leicester took maximum points in three of their last four meetings with Brighton.
  • The Foxes recorded 12 of the previous 17 overall wins.
  • They have scored two or more goals in four of the former six clashes.
  • They are unbeaten against this opponent since 2014.
  • At this venue, the hosts had recorded eight of the last ten overall wins.
  • The visitors had failed to score in nine of the last thirteen matches at this stadium.

Brighton v Chelsea betting tips and free picks, odd is 2.88

Brighton won two of their first four matches after the restart, a 3-2 home win against Arsenal and a 1-0 win at Norwich to move clear of the relegation zone.

Chelsea finished the last Premier League season by beating Wolves 2-0 at home to secure a fourth-placed finish as Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud scored the goals.

However, it will be a very different Chelsea team that visit the Amex on Monday, compared to the XI that had to settle for a point just under 12 months ago.

A summer spending spree has seen Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva arrive at Stamford Bridge to some fanfare, while back in September there was little sign of Christian Pulisic making the kind of impact he did during Project Restart.

Both teams to score is always a good bet with this Chelsea team given their attacking threat and lack of defensive assurance. It’s happened in 11 of their past 13 matches away from Stamford Bridge.

  • Brighton welcome Chelsea to the Amex in Premier League opener
  • Chelsea have won 5 of their last 6 against Brighton
  • Chelsea have scored 2 or more goals in their last 7 on the road
  • Three of Chelsea’s new signings to miss clash through injury
  • Debuts await Chelsea attacking duo Timo Werner and Kai Havertz

Chelsea hold a 5-1 advantage over Brighton in eight matches along with two draws. Their last clash ended in a 1-1 draw in January. Ours picks for this match is:

  • Brighton failed to score in three of their final four home games last season.
  • The Seagulls conceded three or more goals in three of those matches.
  • Chelsea scored exactly three goals in three of their final six Premier League fixtures last term.
  • Chelsea won five of their last six meetings with Brighton.
