Sutton's predictions: Brighton v Liverpool
- Published
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.
His opponents for this weekend's fixtures are YouTuber KSI and boxer Tommy Fury, who are set to fight on October 14.
Sutton's prediction: 2-3
Brighton shipped six goals last week and I think Liverpool will be able to get at them down the flanks.
Mohamed Salah looks in particularly good form at the moment - but if the Reds don't win this game then I suppose they will want a replay, won't they?
I like Reds boss Jurgen Klopp but, if that happened, it would turn football into a total farce. Everyone would want every game replayed over any contentious decision that has gone against them, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Of course they were unlucky against Tottenham and that was a horrendous decision to disallow Luis Diaz's goal, but Liverpool have to take a bit of responsibility themselves over the red cards for Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota - I really cannot understand why they appealed against Jones' sending-off.
The Seagulls played in Marseille on Thursday and we are still waiting to really see how European football will affect them this season.
Yes, they beat Bournemouth a few days after playing AEK Athens last month, but this is a much tougher task for them.
Brighton beat Liverpool twice at the Amex Stadium last season - 3-0 in the league and 2-1 in the FA Cup - but this is a different Liverpool side, especially in midfield. I can see Alexis Mac Allister shining on his old patch, and taking home the points.
KSI's prediction: I feel like this is going to be a goal fest - Brighton score a lot of goals but their defence was all over the place against Villa last week. The same applies to Liverpool really, so I am going for a lot of goals. 3-4
Tommy's prediction: 2-3
