Liverpool F.C. vs Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. Prediction 14 February 2026
Added on 12 February, 2026
Liverpool and Brighton are set to meet in one of the standout ties of the FA Cup Round of 32, with both sides looking to keep their cup ambitions alive amid mixed league form.
Liverpool narrowly edged past Sunderland 1-0 in their most recent outing, a result that helped them cling to sixth place in the Premier League but did little to boost confidence in a title defense that already looks out of reach. The FA Cup now represents a realistic opportunity for silverware, and the Reds have made a solid start in the competition, previously dispatching Barnsley 4-1.
Brighton arrive with momentum in this tournament after a headline-grabbing 2-1 victory over Manchester United, underlining their ability to rise to the occasion in knockout football. However, their league form tells a different story. The Seagulls have slipped to fourteenth following back-to-back 0-1 defeats to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, raising concerns about consistency.
While Brighton have already produced one major upset, repeating that feat against Liverpool may prove a step too far. Despite their inconsistencies, the Reds possess greater depth and quality, and with the added motivation of pursuing silverware, they appear well positioned to get the job done in normal time.
