Everton head to the AMEX Stadium to play Brighton knowing that a win could put them level on points with Merseyside rivals Liverpool in the Premier League table. The Toffees were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Leeds last time out.
Meanwhile, Brighton fell to a 2-1 defeat to Fulham, courtesy of a late Harry Wilson free-kick. The Seagulls will be hoping to bounce back on home soil on Saturday afternoon, but their recent H2H record against Everton is grim reading for them.

Brighton preview: Couple of doubts
Brighton have a couple of doubts on top of their longer-term injury absentees. Indeed, both Max Wieffer and Brajan Gruda could also end up sidelined for this one for the Seagulls.
Predicted lineup: Verbruggen (GK); Kadioglu, Dunk, Van Hecke, De Cuyper; Ayari, Gross; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma & Welbeck

- Fulham 2-1 Brighton
- Brighton 1-1 Bournemouth
- Manchester United 1-2 Brighton
- Manchester City 1-1 Brighton
- Brighton 2-0 Burnley
Everton preview: Keane back from suspension
Michael Keane is available again after suspension and so could slot straight back into the team, despite the return of Jarrad Branthwaite. Tim Iroegbunam needs to be assessed after a period out through injury.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK); O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Ndiaye, Armstrong, McNeil & Barry
Last five results:
- Everton 1-1 Leeds

Player to watch: Thierno Barry
Thierno Barry is in great goalscoring form, netting in his last two appearances for Everton. The striker has four goals in his previous six appearances in total, and so Brighton will do very well to keep him quiet at the AMEX.
