Brighton is entering this evening match with Liverpool knowing that there is little margin of error if they want to stay in search of a place in Europe next season.
According to various permutations, most centers around Chelsea winning the Conference League final against Real Betis, eighth place in the Premier League may be sufficient to qualify for continental competition.
The Seagulls are currently ninth, but at the level of the points with Brentford eighth. Tonight is their match in hand and they end the season in Tottenham on Sunday.
For Liverpool, there is nothing other than pride in playing. The title was completed weeks ago and several players spent last week celebrating their success in Dubai while the boss Arne Slot was seen by partying in Ibiza.
