Liverpool vs Brighton live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV tonight
Liverpool play Brighton on Wednesday night
Liverpool have rediscovered their edge with a performance that showed glimpses of their absolute best last time out to blow West Ham United away at the weekend.
They now welcome a Brighton side always keen to play attractive football, which should make for a fascinating game at Anfield, while Jurgen Klopp has also rectified the injury crisis at centre-back with two late acquisitions in the January transfer window, with Preston’s Ben Davies joining permanently, before a late loan was agreed to sign Ozan Kabak from Schalke.
Now up to third in the table with back-to-back wins, the champions must win here to move within a point of Manchester United, with tonight’s game an opportunity to start rebuilding Anfield as a fortress after their long unbeaten run at home was ended by Burnley.

Brighton were themselves active in the transfer market to complete the signing of Moises Caicedo, an impressive coup for a sought-after youngster. In the league they have two two of their last three games to boost survival hopes, with a win over Spurs last time out particularly impressive.
