Brighton and Hove Albion's Alexis Mac Allister scores their side's fourth goal of the game in their last game, playing Leicester City on September 4
BY THE time Liverpool face Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, their opponents from the south coast will not have played a competitive game for 26 days.
It will also have been 27 days since Liverpool themselves played a game in the Premier League, and though they have had games in the Champions League against Napoli and Ajax during that time, they still won’t have played a competitive game for 17 days.
Brighton's last game was a striking 5-2 win against Leicester City on September 4. It featured goals from Alexis McAllister and Moises Caicedo, midfielders who have played a big part in Brighton’s early good form.
