Liverpool form and stats

Liverpool have collected seven points from their first three Premier League games here at Anfield, a promising start.

Liverpool's previous fixture was a Champions League game also played at their own arena, finishing 2-1 versus Ajax. The home side are looking to build on that result. Tsimikas, defender, was given a rating of 8.02/10 in that game, top of the team. Tsimikas served one assist, hit five key passes and won 7 of 10 duels.

Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Napoli in the Champions League. Liverpool are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 8 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 4, drew 3 and lost 1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Liverpool as they have a new game in only three days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. Rangers are visiting.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Liverpool is on fire here. A stunning 12 from 3 league matches. Liverpool are not conceding a lot of goals here at Anfield in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats

Brighton & Hove Albion have six points from their first three away games in the Premier League, meaning two victories and a loss.

Impressive finishing from Caicedo, Trossard and Allister (2) secured the home win 5-2 against Leicester City in their previous game. As you can tell from the result, the match against Leicester City was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Allister got a match rating of 8.33 in that game, top player of the team. Allister scored two goals, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 37 successful passes (of 43 total).

A 1-2 defeat away at Fulham before that.
