Liverpool v Brighton: is it on TV, what channel is it on and can I stream it online?

Liverpool’s slow start to the season could come to an end this Saturday as they host Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Seagulls are typically known for their compact structure, pressing ability, and technical full-backs, perfected by former-manager Graham Potter.

However, the team from the South-East will have to travel to Anfield for their first game under new head coach Roberto De Zerbi - in front of a crowd desperate to see Liverpool kick start their Premier League campaign.

Jurgen Klopp will be encouraged by the determination and grit shown by his squad as they rescued a late win against an in-form Ajax side .

How did Liverpool’s opponent fare in the last game?

Liverpool’s opponents Brighton will have gone without a game for almost 4 weeks, following postponement of games due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Their last Premier League outing was a ferocious 5-2 thumping of Brenden Rogers Leicester. Leicester took an early lead through Kelechi Iheanacho before being picked apart by a restless Brighton attack.

Alexis Mac Allister was robbed of a sensational hat-trick as his second-half strike was chalked off by VAR. The Argentine completed his brace with a spellbinding free-kick in stoppage time.
