Brighton and Hove Albion - Liverpool FC 

Amex Stadium, Brighton

On Monday, May 19, 2025, Brighton and Hove Albion will face Liverpool FC in the 38th round of the Premier League. The match offers a clash between a home team with solid results against The Reds and visitors fighting for their place in the elite four.

Having lost four of their first five Premier League home games against Liverpool (D1), Brighton are now unbeaten in their last two against the Reds at the Amex Stadium in the competition. The home team thus confirms their growing competitiveness against traditional big clubs.

Liverpool have won their last two Premier League games against Brighton, having won just one of their previous seven against the Seagulls beforehand (D4 L2). The visitors have thus recently found a formula against Brighton, who previously caused them problems.

A goal in this match will see Liverpool become only the ninth side to score in 100% of their away games in an English top-flight season (something the Reds have never achieved in any league season before), and only the fourth to do so in a league with at least 20 teams in it, after both Arsenal and Manchester United in 2001-02 (19 games), and Arsenal in 1930-31 (21 games). The Liverpool team thus stands on the threshold of a significant historical achievement.

Brighton lost 2-0 to Manchester United in their final home league game of 2023-24, but haven't done so in consecutive campaigns since a run of three between 2005-06 and 2007-08. The home team will thus strive for a positive conclusion to their home season.

Liverpool haven't lost their final away league game in any of the last six campaigns (W4 D2) since a 1-0 loss to Chelsea in 2017-18. Their last two have seen 14 goals scored in total – a 4-4 draw with Southampton in 2022-23 and a 3-3 stalemate with Aston Villa last season. The Reds thus traditionally end the season with attractive football.

Brighton have lost just one of their last seven Premier League home games (W4 D2), going down 3-0 against Aston Villa in April. The home team thus benefits from solid form on their own ground.

Liverpool have lost two of their last three Premier League away games (W1), as many as they had in their previous 30 (W17 D11). They lost 3-1 at Chelsea last time out, last losing consecutively on the road in the league in March/April 2023. The visitors are thus experiencing a certain results downturn away from their home stadium.

Brighton's Danny Welbeck – enjoying his best ever goalscoring season in the Premier League with 10 – has been involved in four goals in his last five Premier League appearances against Liverpool (2 goals, 2 assists). The home team's striker thus represents a specific threat to the visitors' defense.

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has scored 16 away goals in the Premier League this season, the joint-most in a single campaign in the competition's history (level with Harry Kane in 2022-23 and Kevin Phillips in 1999-00). The Egyptian striker thus confirms his exceptional form on opponents' grounds.

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah could make his 300th Premier League appearance in this match. He would be just the fourth African player to reach this milestone, after Kolo Touré (353), Wilfried Zaha (305), and Jordan Ayew (303). Liverpool's star thus stands on the threshold of another significant career achievement.

Monday's duel at the Amex Stadium thus promises an interesting battle between a home team with a good record against Liverpool and a visiting side that is striving for a historic attacking record and further success for their star Mohamed Salah.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
