Two of the top five in the Premier League table meet at Anfield on Sunday afternoon as fifth-placed Liverpool entertain third-placed Brighton & Hove Albion.
Andoni Iraola saw his side bounce back from their first defeat of the season against Manchester City by coming from a goal down to win 1-2 away at Brentford – on an afternoon I landed a 5/4 winner.
The Reds went into halftime a goal down, but they made use of their man advantage, as goals from Victor Munoz and Alexander Isak secured all three points.
Liverpool also came from behind against Villarreal in midweek, eventually winning 4-3, a result that maintained their 100% start in the league phase of the Champions League.
Brighton, on the other hand, failed to win in Europe in midweek as they were held to a frustrating goalless draw away at Jablonec in the Conference League.
However, the Seagulls have been in scintillating form in the Premier League, winning each of their last four, moving them up into third position, five points behind leaders Manchester City.
The latest of which came against rivals Crystal Palace, as they thrashed the Eagles 5-0 at the AMEX in a dominant display.
How the bookies view it: Liverpool favourites
Liverpool are favourites to make it three wins in the space of eight days, with bet365 pricing a home success at 11/10.
Brighton are 12/5 to make it five consecutive wins in the Premier League, whilst the draw is 13/5.
Head to head: Home a big advantage
The home side is unbeaten in each of the previous eight meetings between these two clubs, with Liverpool winning each of the last three at Anfield.
Players to watch: Isak to find the target again?
Alexander Isak made the ideal return from injury, as he scored the winner away to Brentford last weekend.
That takes his tally to five in the Premier League this season, and the 13/10 on offer at bet365 for the Swedish international to score again at Anfield appeals to me.

Anything else catch the eye?
Brighton have been in scintillating form in front of goal this season, with the Seagulls firing in 23 goals across their opening seven Premier League outings and will be confident of breaching a vulnerable Liverpool backline.
The Reds have shipped 10 goals across their last four matches in all competitions, but only Manchester City have prevented them from scoring.
Therefore, we should see goals, with the 4/5 on offer at bet365 for Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals standing out.
