Brighton v Liverpool betting tips and predictions

Over 3.5 goals - 11/8

It has been anything but dull for Brighton supporters this season and the Seagulls head into Wednesday's visit of Liverpool with a point to prove, having let a 2-0 lead slip at home to Wolves with just two minutes of normal time left to end up drawing 2-2.

Manager Fabian Hurzeler has seen his fair share of entertainment since taking the reins this summer, with Albion's last six matches in all competitions producing a combined total of 25 goals.

Over 3.5 goals has landed in five of those fixtures, the anomaly being a 1-0 victory at Newcastle United, while their last four home assignments have produced two 3-2 score lines and two 2-2 results.

Another free-flowing, attacking contest is expected when Liverpool make the trip to the Amex Stadium, a venue the Reds have lost at on their last three trips.

Arne Slot's troops head into this fixture on the back of a 2-2 draw at Arsenal, a match they came from behind twice to secure a share of the spoils, meaning the Merseyside outfit have now scored two or more in seven of their last nine games in all competitions.

Three of the last five meetings between Brighton and Liverpool have produced over 3.5 goals and another end-to-end encounter could be on the cards.

Cody Gakpo anytime goalscorer - 5/2

Netherlands international Cody Gakpo has struggled for starts this season, making just two in the Premier League to date, but he may get the opportunity to prove his worth on the south coast.

With the Reds having played at the Emirates on Sunday, Slot is expected to make changes and Gakpo is in line to take one of the spots in the attacking trio.

The 25-year-old started the 5-1 victory over West Ham in the last round and he grabbed that chance with both hands, scoring a brace in that convincing triumph.

Coming up against a Brighton side that have struggled at the back, Gakpo can get himself on the scoresheet.

Pervis Estupinan to be booked - 7/2

With an attacking game expected, both defences could come under intense pressure and that should increase the chances of some bookings being dished out.

One player who could fall foul of the referee is Seagulls defender Pervis Estupinan, who picked up his third yellow of the campaign last time out in the 2-2 draw against Wolves.

The 26-year-old Ecuador international was also booked in the 4-2 defeat at Chelsea and the 3-2 victory over Wolves in the last round of the EFL Cup.

While a danger coming forward, Estupinan can get caught out pushing high up the pitch and, with the pace that the Reds have in their side, the Seagulls ace could be forced into making a rash challenge to stop the counter.
