Liverpool kick off and play from left to right.
Matt Beard told journalists at a press conference on Friday.
“Structurally there have obviously been some changes in the way they are. [Brighton] Assemble and play.I think when in possession they are not as risky pressing as before and are more organized. [sic] Under Mel. So on Sunday, we have to be patient when they have possession of the ball, which they have built very well structurally and defensively and methodically. So, tactically Sunday will be a good challenge for us because I think he has done a great job in such a short time. ”
Mikey Harris said during Friday’s press conference.
“We’ve had a lot of opportunities to do research. I’ve looked at them [Liverpool], have a clear identity and are well-coached. I know Matt. I worked with his brother Mark here at Brighton for a number of years, so I know what he’s thinking and how his team is going, and I expect it to be a tough game on Sunday. I am. We will prepare as well as we can and do our best to win the match. ”

preamble
Brighton are aiming for their first WSL win under caretaker manager Mikey Harris. If they get three points today, they could move from 11th to seventh place in the league.
Liverpool, on the other hand, need today’s win to bounce back after a few losses in January. A win for Matt Beard’s side would keep the pressure on fourth-placed Manchester United.
Until then, play them all! Kickoff is at 12:00 pm Japan time.
