Known for playing one of the most attractive brands of football in the Premier League at the moment, Brighton could extend their winning streak in the league when they meet with Liverpool at Anfield this coming weekend.
The Seagulls ended gameweek seven sitting in third position on the table with an impressive 16 points to their name so far.
As they trail log leaders Manchester City by five points, Brighton find themselves on a run of four-straight wins in the league with the most recent being a 5-0 drubbing of Crystal Palace at home on Sunday.
With only one loss in the league, Brighton have already slayed a top six contender this season when they noted a 3-0 win over Arsenal on 19 September and will be in confident spirit as they zoom in on Liverpool who are likewise targeting back-to-back wins.
The Reds took home maximum points in a 2-1 win over Brentford last time out as they took their tally to 12 points after seven matches in fifth place.
Liverpool’s inconsistent season have been summed up in their previous five encounters as they recorded three wins, one draw and one defeat during this period.

Speaking on the back of four impressive wins, Brighton coach Fabian Hurzeler expressed that getting one over Palace was crucial to his side’s frame of mind this season, signalling their upward trajectory in the Premier League.
“I’m part of this journey and club and therefore you understand the history of the rivalry and meaning of the game,” Hurzeler said after his side’s win over Palace.
“A few months ago [losing to Palace] we were in a different place and I said I’d keep pushing to get another opportunity to beat them, so I’m happy we did it today.
“It’s not a one-man show so I credit my players and my staff. Hopefully everyone enjoyed it.”
