Is Liverpool v Brighton on TV? Channel, streaming details, team news & kick-off time for Premier League clash

Liverpool and Brighton will both hope to get back to winning ways in this weekend’s Premier League clash. The Reds have kicked off the season in excellent form and have won five of their opening seven matches in the league - beating the likes of Bournemouth, Newcastle, West Ham, Aston Villa and Wolves.

But their unbeaten start came to an end in controversial circumstances when they were beaten 2-1 by Tottenham in a game which was largely overshadowed by refereeing controversy.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have responded strongly with a Europa League victory in midweek but attention now returns to the Premier League as they look to rejuvenate their title push ahead of the international break. Here we take a look ahead to the game between Liverpool and Brighton and how you can watch it on TV.
