Premier League champions Liverpool take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the final instalment of Monday Night Football this season.
Arne Slot’s Reds completed their title success at the end of April having led the way for the vast majority of the campaign. Arsenal, their closest ‘challengers’ struggled to build any sort of pressure on the league leaders, and thus their head-to-head meeting last weekend was somewhat of a dead rubber.
Liverpool raced into a 2–0 lead but were pegged back by a spirited Gunners performance at Anfield, and the eventual 2–2 draw means Slot’s side cannot cross the 90-point threshold with two games to go.
It was a bleak Saturday for Brighton supporters, who saw A23 rivals Crystal Palace win the FA Cup which greatly hinders their chances of playing in Europe next season. Now only a couple of unlikely permutations will see the Premier League’s eighth-place team venturing into the 2025–26 Conference League.
After last weekend’s win at Wolves, the Seagulls are just a point adrift of Brentford in eighth. Bournemouth and Fulham are also in contention.
Here is guide to Monday night’s clash.
