Liverpool vs. Brighton: Time, TV channel, stream, betting odds for Premier League match

Four points adrift of fourth place and 12 short of the top of the Premier League, Liverpool can avoid the risk of ending the weekend in the bottom half of the table with a fourth successive home win in all competitions when Brighton visit Anfield on Saturday.

Almost a month after they last played at home, the Reds take on visitors who sit four points above them and in a state of transition following the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as Brighton boss midway through their own unexpected 27-day break from competitive action.

A noted tactician with a style considered by some to be attacking to the point of cavalier, De Zerbi's arrival makes Albion unpredictable opponents as Liverpool target only a third victory in seven games so far this season.

Here's how to watch Liverpool and Brighton's return to Premier League action, the latest team news and the odds on the game.

Liverpool vs. Brighton betting odds

Despite failing to beat Brighton in their two previous attempts at Anfield, Liverpool are heavy favourites to continue their strong home form and return to winning ways in the Premier League following a goalless draw at Everton last time out.

Brighton have lost one of their six Premier League matches this season and rallied from two goals behind to earn a 2-2 draw at Liverpool last October, having shocked the Reds 1-0 the previous season. A point would represent a strong start for De Zerbi in his first match as a manager in England.
