Liverpool will be 'more intense' than Manchester United - Brighton's Leon Balogun

Brighton and Hove Albion's Premier League game against Liverpool on Saturday will be "more intense" than their clash with Manchester United, defender Leon Balogun has said.

Balogun made his league debut as a substitute in Brighton's 3-2 home win over United on Sunday and the former Mainz player expects the pace to be on a different level at Anfield.

"Liverpool is going to be completely different," Balogun told the British media. "It is going to be a lot quicker and a lot more intense."

The Nigeria international said he had spoken about the pace of the Premier League with his new teammates and that he had expected Sunday's game to be a lot quicker.
