Everton have been one of the form teams in the country so far, winning all six of their matches in all competitions and making it three from three last weekend, in which Dominic Calvert-Lewin continued his goalscoring run before netting a hat-trick in the midweek Carabao Cup victory over West Ham.
Ancelotti does have a number of injury concerns on his hands though, including summer signing Allan, and Brighton will fancy their chances of an upset after resting the bulk of their squad during the week. Follow the live updates below.
33 mins: A turn and burst by Coleman sends Everton on the attack. The ball is worked to Calvert-Lewin but White reads the play and intercepts.
30 mins: Calvert-Lewin wins the ball up the pitch and he gives it to Sigurdsson. He finds Rodriguez who gives for goal from range but hits the shot too high and it goes wide.
27 mins: Digne drags Bissouma back by the shoulder and gives away a free kick. Brighton lose the ball over on the left wing and Everton send it to their back line, inviting the press.
24 mins: Lamptey uses the wet turf to slide into a challenge on Richarlison. He wins the ball but cleans out the Everton striker who lands awkwardly on his injured ankle.
Iwobi is coming on to replace him. Worrying signs for Carlo Ancelotti and Everton.
