Liverpool head to the Amex next to face Brighton as Jurgen Klopp's side look to keep the pressure on Manchester City in the race for the 2021/22 Premier League title.

A six-point gap between the two teams at the top of the English football pyramid can be reduced to three this weekend, before Pep Guardiola's team face an equally awkward task going to Selhurst Park on Monday night.

With just 10 games to go after Saturday's contest with the Seagulls, we're approaching the business end of the season.

Liverpool still have to go to the Etihad for what looks to be a pivotal match in April, and it's therefore of paramount importance to not let City establish any further lead in the race for the title. A win at City could be the game that sees the trophy - effectively - heading to Merseyside if both sides keep winning.

And Graham Potter's out-of-form outfit will be the next to have a big say in that. Brighton have had three good results against Liverpool in the three last meetings, which the hosts can take heart from. An intriguing fixture awaits.

Form guide

Brighton have won one and drawn two of the last three meetings with Liverpool. They enter this game on the back of four straight losses though and with downward momentum. The Seagulls have won just one of their last six home games, with back-to-back losses to Aston Villa and Burnley in their last matches at the Amex in the Premier League.

Liverpool have won their last seven Premier League games, and four of the last seven on the road. A home defeat to Inter Milan 0-1 was still enough to see the Reds advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League in midweek, in their last match played.

The game is live to watch on BT Sport 1/1HD with coverage beginning at 11.30pm (with kick-off at 12.30pm) and begins this weekend's round of top tier match fixtures.

You can watch the match abroad from licensed broadcasters, such as CBS in the US.

Where are they playing?
