It's back home for Liverpool, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating West Ham United away with the result 3-1. Georginio Wijnaldum and Mohamed Salah (2) found the net in that victory. In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Tottenham Hotspur.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Liverpool home games with this odds we find six games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in five wins, zero draws and one defeat. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Manchester City in only four days. This game is also played here at Anfield.
Goals decide football matches and Liverpool are scoring many of them at home; 21 on target from 10 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Liverpool have conceded only 9 goals.

Brighton are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur (placed 6th). A draw for Brighton before that, at their own venue hosting Fulham (0-0).
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Brighton played away with similar odds. This revealed four games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected three times.
