liverpool vs brighton

What Happened

Liverpool hosted Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday evening at Anfield. The Reds aimed to secure their first FA Cup title since 2022, following an early exit last season when they lost 1-0 to Plymouth Argyle at the same stage. Liverpool entered the match after a narrow 1-0 victory over Sunderland, marking the first Premier League defeat for Sunderland at the Stadium of Light this season.

Why It Matters

Brighton, on the other hand, has been struggling, having not won any of their last five matches since defeating Manchester United 2-1 in the previous round of the FA Cup. This match is crucial for Brighton as they seek to reverse their declining form and regain momentum in the competition.

The match was scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. GMT (3:00 p.m. ET) and was broadcast on TNT Sports 1 in the UK, ESPN in the U.S., SonyLIV in India, and Stan Sport in Australia. Fans could also follow live updates via ESPN.
