Anfield will host a compelling FA Cup fourth-round clash on Saturday, February 14, as Liverpool welcomes Brighton & Hove Albion. Both sides are eager to advance in the competition, though for differing reasons as the Premier League season unfolds.
Liverpool, having overcome Barnsley 4-1 in the previous round, aims to reignite their silverware ambitions. A recent 1-0 Premier League victory against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light provided a much-needed boost, but the FA Cup represents a significant opportunity to secure a trophy this season. Kickoff is set for at 3:00 PM ET (12:00 PM PT).
Brighton, meanwhile, finds themselves in a slightly different position. Currently outside the European qualification places in the Premier League, the FA Cup offers a realistic pathway to claim a title. However, their recent form has been concerning, with a six-match winless streak culminating in a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa midweek. They will undoubtedly approach the match with a sense of urgency and determination.
The match is scheduled for 8:00 PM GMT, translating to 3:00 PM ET or 12:00 PM PT for viewers in the United States and Canada, and 7:00 AM AEDT for those tuning in from Australia.

Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, will be looking to guide his team to a ninth FA Cup title, having last lifted the trophy in 2022 under Jürgen Klopp. However, the Reds are currently facing defensive challenges, with injuries to Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley, and Wataru Endo impacting team selection. Endo sustained a serious injury during the midweek victory over Sunderland, adding to the concerns at right back.
Brighton, under Fabian Hürzeler, will be aiming to break their recent losing streak and progress in the FA Cup. The competition represents a significant opportunity for the Seagulls to secure silverware this season, particularly as they currently sit outside the European qualification spots in the Premier League. Both teams will undoubtedly approach the match with high intensity, recognizing the importance of a victory to advance to the next round.
