Albion's top scorer for that campaign, Andy Ritchie, claimed the winning goal for Mike Bailey's team against an impressive Liverpool outfit, who went on to win their 13th league title that season.

The odds will equally be stacked against Brighton this time around. Jurgen Klopp's latest Liverpool line-up is just as fearsome as the title winners from 1982, which then included the likes Alan Hansen, Graeme Souness and Ian Rush.
