"Fabian Hurzeler urged his Brighton team to find consistency across the duration of matches ahead of welcoming high-flying Sunderland to the Amex Stadium on Saturday. Brighton are 10th in the Premier League but are without a win in their last three matches, the latest of which saw them beaten 2-0 by champions Liverpool. Hugo Ekitike's brace either side of half-time proved to be the difference, but Brighton had their chances at Anfield and could have seen them take a point off Arne Slot's side."
""I think we deserved more, maybe even a win, but we created so many chances," Hurzeler said. "We had a bad start, and then a set-piece against us that we didn't defend well. "It's about consistency and doing it for 90 minutes, and that's where we lost it. There were several key moments and we had good chances to score goals. "We must take responsibility for that loss."
Brighton sit 10th in the Premier League and are without a win in their last three matches, most recently losing 2-0 to Liverpool. Hugo Ekitike scored in the first minute and again from a corner as Liverpool converted two defensive lapses. Brighton produced an xG of 1.9 from 14 shots but only forced one save from Alisson. The team needs to maintain consistency for the full 90 minutes and improve defending from set-pieces. Brighton accept responsibility for missed chances and avoidable goals. Sunderland arrive in confident form after a 1-0 Tyne-Wear derby win and have 26 points from 16 games.
