Brighton and Hove Albion host Everton on Saturday with both teams keen to find consistency sooner rather than later - though for very different reasons, with the Seagulls chasing Europe and the Toffees simply trying to avoid relegation.
A points deduction hasn’t helped there and Sean Dyche’s side may yet face another before the campaign is out, but they come into this game outside the bottom three on goal difference.

Welbeck has been involved in eight Premier League goals against Everton (four goals and four assists), only having a hand in more against West Ham (nine).

CHANCE! Welbeck has bodies around him on the edge of the box but can poke a shot towards the goal that deflects wide of the right post. Everton then clear away the following corner.

Gross has possession just inside Everton's half and looks for Buonanotte with a clever chip forward. However, Tarkowski reads his intentions and makes a good inception. It's been a very bright start from Brighton.

There was a nice touch from Brighton before the start, with Adingra coming out before everyone else. He was given a round of applause by the home crowd after winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast. The winger proudly was wearing his medal around his neck with pride. The 22-year-old scored twice against the Blades on his return in the previous match.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton
The home side hasn’t won any of the last six Premier League meetings between Brighton and Everton (drawing two and losing four), since a 4-2 victory for the Toffees at Goodison Park in October 2020. Both teams are on the pitch and are ready to get started.

Everton make one change to the side that drew 1-1 with Palace in their previous fixture. Harrison is preferred ahead of Young on the right side of the midfield. Mykolenko picked up a knock against the Eagles but is fit enough to start at left-back.
