Former Liverpool ahead Michael Owen has backed his former aspect to ‘rating a couple of targets’ in opposition to Brighton and Hove Albion and earn all three factors in tomorrow’s lunchtime kick-off.
The Reds have been disappointingly defeated by Inter Milan on Tuesday night time within the Champions League, and though Jurgen Klopp’s aspect did progress by means of to the quarter-final of the competitors, Owen is anticipating a response on the Amex Stadium.
“Brighton’s type actually has dipped during the last month or so. They only aren’t scoring sufficient targets proper now, in any case, solely Burnley and Norwich have fewer all season,” he advised BetVictor (through Sussex Stay).
“There’s no hazard of this aspect happening, however Graham Potter will need to goal ending within the prime ten.
“Liverpool’s final couple of video games haven’t seen them fairly at their finest. They acquired the win over West Ham however did concede a couple of possibilities in that recreation and on one other day, may have drawn.
“The defeat to Inter [Milan] on Tuesday was irritating, primarily as a result of they’d greater than sufficient possibilities to win that recreation.
“Liverpool are due a recreation by which they rating a couple of targets, they’re creating loads of possibilities. I feel that may come right here.”
Hopefully, Owen is true – we want all three factors to make sure we maintain the stress on Manchester Metropolis within the title race.
Brighton are a proficient aspect, although, and so they did maintain us to a 2-2 draw again in October at Anfield.
We’ll must take the probabilities that come our means and carry out solidly on the again – if we will maintain our sixteenth Premier League clear sheet in opposition to the south coast outfit tomorrow, that’ll give us an ideal alternative to earn all three factors.
