Brighton vs. Liverpool: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 47

Brighton wins: 9

Draws: 12

Owing to the fact that Brighton & Hove Albion have only become a Premier League fixture in recent years, meetings between the Seagulls and Liverpool have been a scarcity in the 118 years since their first showdown in a 1908 FA Cup tie.

Fast-forward over 100 years, and there have only been 47 clashes between Liverpool and Brighton in competitive action - 26 of which have been won by the Reds - while the Seagulls have a meagre nine successes to their name.

Even though the Merseyside giants boast almost treble the number of victories that the South Coast side do in this head-to-head, Brighton have been a bogey team for Liverpool ever since the lockdown era, as the Reds have only won eight of their last 15 meetings across all competitions.

However, two of those victories were achieved in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign, the 3-2 EFL Cup last-16 thriller on the South Coast and a 2-1 come-from-behind win at Anfield in the Premier League, before a 2-0 home success in December 2025. Brighton would enact some form of revenge in March 2026, winning 2-1 at the Amex in the top flight.

Another of the Reds' victories came at the back end of Jurgen Klopp's tenure - a 2-1 Premier League home win in March 2024 - and the other arrived at the Amex in March 2022, when Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah did what they do best.

After that 2-0 success on Brighton's turf, the Seagulls went unbeaten in three home matches against Liverpool, a run of results that included a fabulous 3-0 top-flight win in January 2023 and 2-1 FA Cup victory that same month.

Brighton also held Liverpool to a 2-2 top-flight stalemate at the Amex during the 2023-24 campaign, where long-serving skipper Lewis Dunk came up with the crucial equaliser late on, although the Reds did win nine meetings on the bounce from 1991 to 2020.

The most recent meeting between the clubs came in October 2026, when Andoni Iraola earned his first Premier League home win in charge of the Merseysiders by beating Brighton 2-0 at Anfield.

The Reds applied intense pressure in the first half and managed to score twice before the half-time break, courtesy of an own goal from Pascal Gross forced by Florian Wirtz, and an excellent outside-foot finish by Alexander Isak, who was set up by Bradley Barcola.

Streets ahead of his rivals when it comes to goals in this particular battle, Liverpool legend Salah boasts 11 goals from previous matches against the Seagulls, while Leandro Trossard bagged five for Brighton, three of which came at Anfield in October 2022.
