Brighton vs Liverpool: Top 4 Race Heats Up
21 Mar
Summary
- Liverpool aims for top four after a 4-0 Champions League win.
- Brighton improved form with three wins in their last four games.
- Key players Kaoru Mitoma and Joe Gomez are doubtful for the match.
Brighton hosts Liverpool on March 21, 2026, in a pivotal Premier League fixture that significantly impacts the race for a top-four finish. Brighton has seen a resurgence, securing three victories in their last four matches after a challenging period from December to February.
Liverpool, under manager Arne Slot, enters the game following a commanding 4-0 win against Galatasaray in the Champions League, which secured their quarter-final spot. However, their league form has been inconsistent, with no wins in their last two fixtures. They currently trail the top four by two points.
Injury concerns loom for both sides. Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma is a significant doubt due to an ankle issue. Liverpool will be without Alexander Isak and Conor Bradley long-term, and Joe Gomez is also doubtful, though Alisson and Federico Chiesa are expected to be available.
