Monday 19 May 2025 · Kick-off 20:00 BST · Amex Stadium, Brighton

Brighton’s final home match arrives with Europe still (just) in reach. The Seagulls sit 9th on 54 pts, one behind Brentford and two adrift of 7th-placed West Ham. A victory over the newly crowned champions would keep Fabian Hürzeler’s men alive for a potential Conference-League berth on the final day. Liverpool, title sewn up three weeks ago, can play with freedom but have looked a shade complacent (one point from their last two). Jürgen Klopp will want a sharper display to avoid finishing the campaign winless in three – something the Reds have not done all season. Hungry hosts versus relaxed champions sets the stage for an open Monday-night shoot-out.
