Brighton vs Liverpool: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today
Liverpool travel to Brighton in their final away match of the season tonight.
This is the first of two fixtures the recently-crowned Premier League champions must play before finally getting their hands on the trophy to kick-start those planned celebrations on Merseyside.
Since thrashing Tottenham 5-1 last month to clinch the title, Liverpool's levels have, understandably, dipped. They were beaten 3-1 away Chelsea before letting a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 at home to Arsenal last weekend.
Ahead of their penultimate game of the campaign, the squad and head coach Arne Slot have enjoyed some downtime abroad, which could be great news for Brighton as they look to sign off at home on a high.
The Seagulls are very much in the hunt for a top-eight finish in the Premier League, though they will have been pained to see rivals Crystal Palace lift the FA Cup on Saturday.
Brighton vs Liverpool is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight on Monday May 19, 2025.
The match will take place at the Amex Stadium in Brighton.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports. Coverage of Monday Night Football starts at 6:30pm BST on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event.
Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Sky Go app.
Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport's live blog.
Free highlights: The Sky Sports app and YouTube channel will show highlights shortly after the final whistle.
Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Wieffer, van Hecke, Webster, Estupinan,Baleba, Ayari, Minteh, Gruda, Adingra, Welbeck
Subs: Rushworth,Igor, Dunk, Mitoma, Gomez, O'Riley, Veltman, Hinshelwood,Howell
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Bradley, Quansah, Konate, Tsimikas,Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Salah, Elliott, Gakpo, Chiesa
Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Endo, van Dijk, Diaz, Nunez, Jones, Robertson,Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool have, quite literally, been on the beach this week. Despite that, it will not be an easy game for Brighton as Mohamed Salah, in particular, is chasing the Premier League assists record, so expect the visitors to carry a threat in attack.
That said, the Reds most likely won't be at their very best as evidenced by games against Chelsea and Arsenal.
Brighton to win, 2-1.
Both meetings this season have been settled by the odd goal. In fact, the two teams met twice in the space of three days back in the winter with Liverpool winning the Carabao Cup fourth round tie 3-2 and then following that up with a 2-1 win in the Premier League at Anfield.
Brighton wins: 4
Liverpool wins: 16
Draws: 7
Brighton to win: 17/10
Liverpool to win: 29/20
Draw: 29/10

Tottenham set to part company with women's coach Robert Vilahamn
Tottenham Hotspur are set to part company with women's team head coach Robert Vilahamn. The decision follows on from men's team head coach Ange Postecoglou leaving Spurs, just 16 days after winning the Europa League final. Advertisement Vilahamn was appointed in July 2023 from Swedish Premiership side BK Hacken, and led Spurs to a top-six Women's Super League (WSL) finish and the club's first-ever FA Cup final, which they lost to Manchester United, in the 2023-24 campaign. The 42-year-old Swedish head coach subsequently signed a three-year contract extension through to 2027 at the north London club. However, this season saw a downturn in results with a 10-game winless run from January seeing Spurs recording an 11th-place WSL finish, just one place from the foot of the table and relegation. Spurs picked up just three points from their final 10 WSL matches of the season to finish second-from-bottom and 10 points above relegated Crystal Palace. Vilahamn and Postecoglou shared similar Spurs path Vilahamn joined Spurs in the same summer as Postecoglou and their reigns followed similar trajectories. They both enjoyed promising debut seasons before everything unravelled in the second year. Advertisement Spurs finished sixth in the WSL under Vilahamn in the 2023-24 campaign and reached the FA Cup final which they lost 4-0 to Manchester United. Spurs lost several key players in the summer of 2024 including Grace Clinton and Celine Bizet. Clinton returned to her parent club Manchester United following a successful loan and Bizet joined them permanently too. Spurs endured a dreadful start to the season as they only won one of their opening five games. They were unbeaten for four matches across December and January but have been awful in the second half of the campaign. Vilahamn's side lost five matches in a row, including being thrashed 5-0 by their north London rivals Arsenal. They have not won a game since a 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace on January 26. Spurs finished the season second bottom with 20 points. Only one team in the WSL was relegated and Crystal Palace were bottom with 10 points. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.

This player has given Patriots the most trouble since 2020, per PFF
This player has given Patriots the most trouble since 2020, per PFF Pro Football Focus released a list of the highest-graded player each NFL team has faced since 2020, and the player who has bothered the New England Patriots the most might surprise you. According to PFF, the highest-graded player to face the Patriots since 2020 is Bobby Okereke. The veteran linebacker had a monstrous game when he last faced New England with the New York Giants in 2023, recording eight tackles, one interception and two pass deflections. PFF's Dalton Wasserman broke down exactly how Okereke has made his mark against the Patriots: "Okereke has done his best work to disrupt New England's offense in the three games that he's faced them. His 92.2 PFF overall grade across those matchups is buoyed primarily by his 90.9 PFF coverage grade. One of those games in Week 9 of 2022 saw Okereke turn in a career-high 97.3 PFF overall grade after making three defensive stops and forcing a fumble." Okereke is certainly one of the more underrated players in the NFL. His ball-hawking ability and nose for the football have made him a nightmare for the Patriots in recent outings. We'll see if the Patriots can put an end to that success in primetime when they meet the Giants for a Monday Night Football clash on December 1. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
