Bet Of The Day October 8 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Liverpool are unbeaten in 17 of their last 18 EPL games
Liverpool have won eight of their last nine games in all competitions
Liverpool’s only defeat in that period came vs Tottenham with nine men, a huge VAR error & conceding a 96th minute own goal
Brighton have won just one of their last five games
Brighton have conceded eight goals in their last two games
Brighton haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last 14 consecutive games

We’re off to the Premier League for today’s best bet as Liverpool look to continue their great start to the season when they go on the road to face slumping Brighton.

We’re gunning for our fourth straight BOTD here and we’re confident Liverpool can get the job done and avenge their last defeat to Brighton in January.

This is a very different Liverpool outfit to the team that lost that aforementioned match 0-3, while Brighton’s form has also tailed off.

Liverpool struggled last season before lifting towards the end of the campaign and they’ve taken things to the next level to begin 23/24, winning eight of their last nine games in all competitions.

Liverpool’s only defeat in that period came against Tottenham – and they were incredibly unlucky in that game, seeing two players sent off, conceding an own goal in the 96th minute and being on the wrong end of a VAR howler.

Everything conspired against the Reds in that game and they still almost held on for a draw on the road. Liverpool bounced back mid-week in the Europa League, easing past Belgian leaders Royale Union 2-0.

Meanwhile, Brighton have won just one of their last five games and are coming off their biggest ever Premier League defeat last week, suffering a crushing 6-1 loss to Aston Villa.

Brighton managed to claw their way back to a 2-2 draw with Marseille mid-week in the Europa League, but they quickly went down 2-0, further highlighting their current defensive fragilities.

Liverpool are one of the strongest attacking teams in the world and will be relishing the chance to take on this weakened Brighton defence.

Brighton haven’t kept a clean sheet in 14 straight competitive games, so Liverpool will get plenty of chances and their overall superior firepower should propel them to another victory on current form.
