Liverpool v Brighton moved to Sunday 25 October, 2pm KO

Liverpool’s home match against Brighton has been moved to Sunday 25 October with a 2pm kick-off, having initially been set for Saturday, due to Brighton’s European game on the Thursday night.

Liverpool’s home Premier League match with Brighton has been moved to Sunday 25 October with a 2pm kick-off. James Pearce reports the switch from the previously planned Saturday slot, citing Brighton’s European game on the preceding Thursday.

The update emerged on Tuesday and reflects the usual calendar flexibility around midweek continental fixtures, the report adds. It means the meeting will now fall into a Sunday afternoon window rather than the standard Saturday programme.

The match remains scheduled to take place at Anfield. The social post did not indicate whether the Premier League or either club has formally confirmed the change.

In practical terms, the rescheduling would provide Brighton with additional recovery time after their European tie, while giving organisers a clearer operational lead-in between the two fixtures.

For supporters, the key alteration is the move to a 2pm start on the Sunday. Ticket information, matchday opening times and any club guidance on travel would typically follow once the revised slot is formally ratified.

As it stands, Liverpool are now set to face Brighton at 14:00 on Sunday 25 October, with further administrative details to be confirmed in official listings.
