Brighton & Hove Albion will entertain champions Liverpool at Falmer Stadium in their penultimate Premier League match of the season on Monday. Brighton are currently ninth in the standings with 55 points and will need to avoid losses in their remaining two games to ensure a top-10 finish. There is nothing left to play for the Reds and they might experiment with their starting lineup here.
The hosts have seen an uptick in form and are unbeaten in their last three games, recording two wins. After a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United in their first game of the month, they registered a 2-0 away win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last week. Danny Welbeck scored from the penalty spot in the first half and Brajan Gruda doubled their lead in the second half, scoring his first goal of the season.

The visitors are winless in their two games in May. They lost 3-1 away to Chelsea earlier this month and were held to a 2-2 draw by Arsenal last week. Cody Gakpo and Luis Díaz scored in quick succession in the first half but Arsenal scored twice after the break to level the score.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool Prediction
The Seagulls head into the match on a three-game unbeaten streak and will look to conclude their league campaign on an unbeaten note. They have scored at least two goals in four of their last five league games and will look to continue that prolific run here.
Joel Veltman and Lewis Dunk have been given the all-clear for this match and should return to the starting XI. Joao Pedro returns from a ban and is in contention to start. Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, Georginio Rutter, and Solly March continue to be sidelined.
The Reds have gone winless in their two games since lifting the league title last month and will look to bounce back here. Notably, they have not gone without a win in three consecutive league games thus far this season. They have lost two of their last three away games. Interestingly, they have scored two goals apiece in six of their last eight away games.
Joe Gomez is the only injury concern for Arne Slot.
Considering the current form of the two teams and Brighton's two-game unbeaten run at home in this fixture, a draw will likely ensue.
