Brighton Faces Liverpool in Premier League Showdown on Monday

BRIGHTON, England — Brighton & Hove Albion welcomes Liverpool to the Amex Stadium on Monday, May 19, in a high-stakes Premier League match. Brighton aims to secure a European spot while Liverpool, having already claimed the league title, seeks to maintain momentum.

Brighton currently sits ninth in the standings with 55 points, just behind Brentford on goal difference but ahead of Bournemouth and Fulham. After a difficult period with six games without a win, Brighton has earned seven points from their last three Premier League matches, marking a notable turnaround.

Liverpool, managed by Arne Slot, has successfully beaten Brighton twice this season, including a victory at the Amex in the Carabao Cup. The team earlier triumphed at Anfield in the league, a match that signaled their strong title credentials this season.

In their most recent outings, Liverpool has struggled, drawing against Arsenal and losing to Chelsea. However, Brighton is highly motivated to improve their standings for potential European competition.

Kickoff for the match is set for 8:00 p.m. BST (3:00 p.m. ET, 12:30 a.m. IST Tuesday) and will be broadcast on Sky Sports in the UK and Peacock in the U.S.

Brighton’s injury report includes several players, with Lewis Dunk returning from a hamstring issue and Joao Pedro back from suspension. Kaoru Mitoma‘s status remains uncertain due to heel problems.

Liverpool has some injury concerns, with Joe Gomez ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Head coach Arne Slot confirmed there are no new injury issues affecting the squad ahead of Monday’s clash.

As Brighton pushes for a strong finish to their season, the stakes couldn’t be higher against the league champions. Both teams aim to come away with a vital result as the league season winds down.
