FW Predictions for Brighton vs Liverpool
Liverpool probably won't be looking forward to their FA Cup 4th Round tie on Sunday as they face Brighton at the AmEx on Sunday, a team that thrashed the Reds 3-0 2-weeks ago. One thing we are expecting from this game is plenty of entertainment between two attacking sides that can score goals for fun.

Brighton to Win
There really isn't much between these two sides according to the latest odds but we're backing a home win for Brighton. The Seagulls thrashed Liverpool 3-0 in the Premier League 2-weeks ago and have been in very good form of late, winning four of their last six matches in all competitions. Liverpool have only won two of their last six fixtures and have lost two of their last three away games, so you can see why we're backing the hosts this weekend.
Over 2.5 Goals
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the last seven meetings between Brighton and Liverpool, and we're expecting another action-packed 90-minutes this Sunday. Each of Brighton's last six outings in league and cup have ended with over 2.5 goals being scored while four of Liverpool's last six matches have also witnessed at least three goals scored, adding further weight to our prediction.

Liverpool head into Sunday's FA Cup tie against Brighton as the slight favourite with the bookmakers, but we fancy the home team to come out on top. If you want to back the First Goalscorer in this game then Salah is the bookmaker's choice at 11/2 (6.50) – 15.4%, but if you wanted to back a Brighton player then Welbeck and Ferguson both have odds of 6/1 (7.00) – 14.3%.
How will the teams lineups for this FA Cup clash?
Brighton
The Seagulls were in fantastic form when they made the trip to the Riverside Stadium to face Middlesbrough in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. Gross gave Brighton the early lead but Akpom equalised shortly after. Lallana restored the Seagulls' lead in the 29th-minute and in the second forty-five, the Premier League side blew their hosts away. World Cup winner Mac Allister scored twice and Undav scored a fifth and final goal 2-minutes from time to wrap up a 5-1 victory for De Zerbi's men.
Predicted lineup – Sánchez (GK), Dunk, Estupiñán, van Hecke, Ferguson, Groß, March, Mac Allister, Mitoma, Caicedo & Welbeck
Liverpool
Liverpool were held at Anfield by Wolves in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup but did manage to beat the Midlands club at Molineux. A solitary goal from Elliot in the 13th-minute proved enough to defeat Wolves and setup a date with Brighton in the 4th Round. Liverpool will have to be at their best if they are going to get anything out of this cup tie, a draw wouldn't be the worst of results for Klopp's men who have found life on the road tough of late.
Predicted lineup – Alisson (GK), Robertson, Gomez, Konaté, Bajčetić, Milner, Thiago, Keïta, Elliott, Salah & Gakpo

Player to Watch: Alexis Mac Allister
Brighton's World Cup winner has been in excellent form this season and while the 24-year-old looks destined for bigger and better things in his career, the Seagulls will be hoping that the Argentine midfielder can leave a lasting impact on the club by guiding them to glory in the FA Cup.
The 24-year-old has chipped in with 7-goals this season and now that Trossard has left the club, more goals will be expected of the Argentine star. Mac Allister scored twice in the last round against Middlesbrough and while goals haven't always been a feature of his game, the World Cup hero has improved in that department and is deadly from the penalty spot.
