Brighton's four wins in five and exceptional early scoring output still make the away side a worthwhile lean at the available price.

Prediction

Brighton remain my prediction for a narrow win at Anfield, with a 1-2 score lean still fitting the supplied form data. No confirmed lineups have been supplied, so there is no late team-news case for changing the published view. The away price has shortened only slightly, while Liverpool have drifted a touch, which keeps this an interesting rather than decisive market. Here's why the original call still stands.

I'm sticking with Brighton as the away-win lean. The published case remains straightforward: they sit third on 16 points from seven matches, have scored 23 goals and conceded only five. Their last five supplied league results contain four wins and a draw, with 16 goals scored and one conceded. That includes clean-sheet victories against Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Arsenal, so the output is not based on one game alone.

Liverpool's recent return is more mixed. They have three wins, a draw and a loss in their last five, most recently winning 2-1 at Brentford. There are also clean-sheet wins over Bournemouth and Ipswich Town, which is the obvious reason not to treat Brighton's scoring run as automatic. Still, Liverpool's supplied home results include a goalless draw with Fulham and a 0-3 defeat to Manchester City, while Brighton's overall numbers are stronger.

There are no confirmed starting lineups in the supplied data, so no decisive absence or late selection information changes the published prediction. On pricing, Liverpool have moved from 2.14 to 2.20, Brighton from 3.30 to 3.24 and the draw from 3.88 to 3.98. Those are small shifts rather than a market reversal: modest support for Brighton, but Liverpool remain favourites. Both teams to score has shortened from 1.55 to 1.50, while over 2.5 goals is unchanged at 1.55. For me, that still points towards a competitive game with Brighton edging it.
