The Amex readies itself for one final burst of Premier League theatre as Brighton host champions Liverpool.
For the Seagulls, it’s a year of what-ifs. A campaign marred by injuries and near-misses, yet threaded with flair and defiance. João Pedro and Kaoru Mitoma have kept it alive on the attacking front, and Fabian Hürzeler’s men are unbeaten in three, playing with the kind of nothing-to-lose freedom that often unsettles royalty.
Against Liverpool, who they’ve bloodied before, that spark might just burn bright again.
But the Reds arrive not to coast; they arrive to celebrate. To earn yet another guard of honor, having already received it from Chelsea and Arsenal in the last 2 games.
Arne Slot’s men are in pursuit of perfection in a season already dipped in gold. Mo Salah is chasing records with 28 goals to his name, and while the Trent Alexander-Arnold saga casts shadows, the focus now shifts back to joy, legacy, and football.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Brighton vs. Liverpool predicted lineups, team news
Brighton continue to wrestle with a long list of defensive absentees-- Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, and Solly March, all sidelined with various knocks, while Georginio Rutter remains a doubt.
Despite these setbacks, the Seagulls have shown resilience, clawing back into European contention thanks to attacking verve and a deep bench. The emergence of Yankuba Minteh has added pace up front, and Hürzeler’s side will be banking on their attacking rotation to keep Liverpool unsettled.
Brighton predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Verbruggen (GK) — Weiffer, Van Hecke, Webster, Estupiñán — Ayari, Baleba — Lampety, Gruda, Minteh — Welbeck
Injured: Kadioglu, Milner, March, Rutter (doubt)
Suspended: None
For Liverpool, all eyes are on how Arne Slot manages Trent Alexander-Arnold’s situation after last weekend’s unsettling boos from sections of the home crowd. Conor Bradley could again step into the right-back role, with the Northern Irishman seen as a long-term option.
With the title already secured, Slot has the luxury to rotate: expect starts for the likes of Harvey Elliott, Diogo Jota, Jarell Quansah, Wataru Endo, and Kostas Tsimikas. Still, Mohamed Salah remains undroppable.
Liverpool predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Alisson (GK) — Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas — Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo — Diaz
Injured: Gomez
Suspended: None
